Diane, my heartfelt condolences to you and the family on the loss of your beloved mother. May perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace. Hugs to you and all your siblings.
Sorry to hear that your mother passed away. She was a very sweet lady and she always treated me real nice. If there’s anything thing I can do for you Gloria please let me know. Love you all. Larry Barbo
We send our love, Tia Pug has decided that she would not go, traveling is hard on her at 95 years young, and she wants to remember Vicki alive and laughing with her as they always did. She is so glad we went to see her earlier this year. Love and hugs; Tia Pug and Suzi Pipkin
Diane,
I am so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. Prayers for you and your family.
