We were saddened to hear of the passing of your mother. We will remember her as a kind lady, and our children were grateful that she would let them fly their airplanes and rockets in her front yard. She always showed kindness to us when we lived across the street. May the Lord's peace and comfort surround you in the coming days. The Brister Family
