My prayers and heart goes out to you Brian and your family. I know the special relationship you had with your mother, my friend Desiree. She was such a wonderful, cheerful person with such a warm heart. I will always remember the funny things she would say and how she made me laugh whenever we talked. Most of all I remember how much she loved shoes. I told her I never knew anyone with so many shoes and she kept each of them in their boxes. Now Desiree is in Heaven walking in a new pair of shoes, the best pair of shoes ever, GOD SHOES. To God be the glory, and may peace always be with you.
