Oh my I just now saw that she passed! We were brand new friends but quick friends. She was warm and wonderful. A real Christian. I had photos in an art show and she went yo the show either me! We were looking forward to swaqpping bulbs from our yards. Considering that we were new friends we talked about deep things. She loved her family so so much. I hope it is a comfort to know that she told me she wasn't afraid to go. I will miss her so much even tho she wasn't with me long. She really touched me.
Aaron and Rachel, So sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. Thinking of you both and your Dad during this difficult time of loss. Your Mom was always cheerful and would be bursting with energy whenever I saw her. She was one of my favorite parents as well as a good co-worker.
