I remember your mom well. All the times we stopped in at your house when we were doing somethings together. One of the best ladies around. She will be missed.

Cyndy, I was so sorry to read of your dear mother’s passing. She did my ironing for many years and was always such a pleasant person to visit with when I would drop the clothes off or pick them up. I fondly remember her and your dad sitting in the lawn swing in their front yard on nice summer evenings, sometimes stopping to visit with them when I could. She was a wonderful, strong lady, and I will always remember her with a smile and admiration~ My most sincere sympathy to you!
