We are so sorry for your loss. What fun we had growing up across the road. Your mom was always smiling and so kind when Annette and I were at your house. What a comfort it is to know she’s in heaven and we will see her again. The neighbors are gathering home, Ginny & Med, Betty & Eugene, D. R. & Blanche, Irene, Ruth & Belton, and now Lois.
