We spent a lot of time visiting you when I was young and my Mom and your Mom would talk for hours. She was a very beautiful lady. My condolences on the loss of your Mother.

Amber & family: We want to send you our condolences. I just lost my Mother in September so I can say "I understand how you feel". Just remember all the good times it helps. She was a very pretty "lady". I remember her at your house when we were there. Our thoughts are with you!
