What a beautiful tribute to your mother. We had so many great times together. We laughed so hard and cried our hearts out. You and Patti have remained lifelong friends. I feel so privileged to have talked with her and prayed with her, laughed with her and cried with her on her last days on earth. She loved you kids so much. Looking forward to seeing her again. When I think of what's going on in this old world, she is blessed to be out of it. Love you so much. Please give our love to Ken. Would love to see him again someday. Take care my sweet friend!
Lovely tribute to your mom, Carla. She had opened her heart and home to me during my time in the USA. I remember her kindness and care. May you all be blessed by her memory.
