    My thoughts and prayers have been with each of you these last days. I know your hearts are so very sad and that is because you had the true love of a Mother. I love the memories I cherish of many of my childhood days shared at your house. Running around and laughing and seeing your precious Mama look at us and laugh her soft laugh and eyes almost closed shut from her sweet smile. With Love, Sheli
