    I am so very sorry for your loss.❤️ Your Mom sure seemed like a great lady as I got to know her through messaging and sending her pictures of Marshall (who we adopted in June.) I had prayed that she would get well and be able to take him back again. I know you will miss her so much as she sure loved her kids and grandkids! Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers in this sad loss of a beautiful lady!
