I am so very sorry for your loss my friends. You mom was a beautiful person. I have many happy childhood memories at your house. One of my favorites was picking mulberries - I'm surprised your mom let us in the house with our purple feet!
Hugs and prayers. If you need anything please let me know.
I love you!
