Donald, Nancy & Family,
Your mom was such a special person in everyone's life. A wonderful roommate for my mother (Mrs. Lumpkin)before she passed away.
There were so many good conversations with Rebecca and what a joy it was to visit with her. She enjoyed playing the piano. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family during this time of sorrow. She will be greatly missed. May God Bless you all.
