So sorry for your loss of such a wonderful mother. She was always so kind to me.
She was such a polite woman and worried about John driving because he would get lost sometimes. You are now in heaven sweet angel.
Thank you for your kindness and compassion when we spoke on the phone those few times. Peace to your family; they will be OK; they come from a strong bloodline of generosity, good humor, and some silliness too. God Bless Always….
Sincerely,
Jo Jo
