I’m truly sorry to hear about Miss Many. I only met her Once or twice, but if you truly was a sweet lady. I worked at Crain automotive with her two sons with great big hearts…. My heart goes out to them and their father, For I have lost both of my parents and it’s hard to put into words… Just remember you’ve officially have a new guardian angel that can be more for you now… Love you guys!
