Hate to hear of your mother's passing prayers for the family and friends
Katie was not only my neighbor but a loving friend. We worked together at Hanes and even took a trip together to the beach with my sisters. I lost touch with her but often thought of her. To the children my prayers and love to you all and may God bless you and ease your pain in the coming days ahead.
So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Our prayers are with you.
You will be missed my dear aunt.
