I would have loved to have met your mother. Gail, your spunkiness, loving spirit, and energy must be a reflection of her. I am always impressed when you speak of your mother – always in such an honorable fashion. Keep the great memories alive. She will live on through those memories. May she rest in the Lord’s presence and may God provide your family the comfort and support needed as you grieve through your friends and through one another.
So sorry Gle. She was a real lady. I loved your mom. Rest assured she is in heaven with our lord.
