I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. I only had the priviledge of knowing her for a few months. She was such a neat lady...I enjoyed visiting with her. I helped with the residents the day they went to the zoo. I really enjoyed walking and talking with her. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Sincerely,
Sandra McCferty daughter of
