I am so very sorry to hear about your mom. I always loved when she called on “line 7” at Dr. Taylor’s office. She was such a joy to talk to! Praying for all of you guys ♥️
Rick and Ricky, I was so saddened to hear of Janice’s passing. She was a great neighbor to my parent’s when y’all lived next door in Vidor. May you find comfort in the days ahead. Praying for y’all.
