Paula & Joyce,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I remember her well, spending many days at her home either visiting or babysitting kids. My prayers are with you and your families. I went through the loss of my father in June this year so I know what you are going through. Hard time to get through but time will heal your sorrow. Thinking of you.
