Susan and Sandy. I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I loved her so. She was such a beautiful, sweet person and loved her family dearly. I always told her she was the best decorator in town. So talented, so giving, and so funny. What a great loss for all of us
Janet was very special to us. We will never forget how good she was to our mom and dad. She was a special cousin for sure.
