KIDS – YOUR MOTHER WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON. SHE WAS A TRUE ANGEL ON EARTH. SHE WAS QUITE QUIET WHEN OUR HUSBANDS WERE AROUND BUT LET THEM LEAVE THE ROOM AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN LAUGHING AND GIGGLING. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF YEARS THAT OUR TWO FAMILIES WOULD GO TO ONE OF THE FARMS AND HAVE AN AMAZING SUNDAY DINNER AND THEN THE NEXT SUNDAY WE WOULD SWITCH AND GO TO THE OTHER FARM. SHE WAS A LOT OF FUN AND A TRUE FRIEND.
I AM SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I PRAY THAT GOD WILL PUT HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND ALL OF YOU TO EASE SOME OF THE PAIN.
