Lee, Bobby and family. Once again I want to send my condolences in the passing of your mother. Your mother was a wonderful mother who had so much love to give and I felt that love so many years ago. Although I have to admit it feels like yesterday. She will surely be missed by all that know her and especially you boys, Terri and grandchildren. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. Debbie
