Jill and PJ, We were so sorry to hear of your Mom’s death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May god hold you close and be with you and your families and give you strength.
We are so sorry for your loss. We were neighbors of your folks (around the corner on Tampico Road) and enjoyed both your folks in past years. Your mom was a lovely person and we appreciated her humor and sewing skills. May happy memories help ease your grief in this sad time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
