    So sorry for your loss; I have many memories of your Mom, I remember when she took me shopping to find a pair of high heels to match my green velvet Christmas dance dress for high school. I also remember when I threw a baseball while playing a game in your front yard and broke a window. I remember our first meeting, my Mom was terrified of tornados and our house didn’t have a basement, they put us all in a car and Mom said drive and the first house we came to was your with your Dad in the front yard looking and your Mom and Dad invited us to share your basement. I remember babysitting for you all when you were very little. So many great memories of your Mom and your whole family.
