Just wanted you to know how much your mother meant to us. She was a dear, dear woman we loved very much. She was always there for us when Cora (Mom) was going through cancer and when she passed 18 years ago. God gave you a wonderful blessing in allowing you to have your mother with you for such a long life. God bless you all as you deal with your grief upon losing her. She will be missed.
