Mary Bird and Leigh, I am so sorry for your loss. When I was little I wanted to be just like your mom. Your grandmother was my second grade teacher, and I loved her and your mom. I even inherited her bicycle on one of my birthdays. I know you have wonderful memories to help give you peace at this time. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
