"Barb, My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I loved hearing all the stories about you stopping in by your mom & how she was able to stay independent for so long! You have so many great memories to cherish. I remember you telling me about her baking pies for your visits. What a great mom (grandma & great grandma) she must have been to you and all of your family. Prayers to you & your family "
