Jaime and Bella,
You’re both in my prayers for peace and comfort. Your mom/granny was such a great person to me. We got to know each other in that waiting room of Children’s Hospital waiting on Bella to come out of surgery. Her amazing stories were filled with great happiness for her as she lit up while telling them.
Love y’all.
