I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mom was such a sweet neighbor and always stopped to visit while she was out walking with her fur baby. I remember spending afternoons after school at your house and how busy she was in her hair salon. Always wished I had the get up and go and the energy she had. May your many loving memories bring you comfort during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
