I am so sorry for your loss. I love you all. You are all in my prayers. I have some very fond, fun memories of her from hanging with Kenny and Cheslea after school and birthday parties for the kids! I loved her like my own grandmother and she always made me feel welcome. I will miss her arguing with Mary. LOL.
