Kris & Carolyn, I worked with your mom at the hospital for a long time. We got to be friends taking breaks together. My husband had MS like your dad so we had lots of conversations and uplifting each other. She was such a classy lady. Always looked so pretty and will always remember her wearing Angel perfume! She was a special friend and I have missed her since I moved to Georgia in late 2002.
I am so sorry for your loss. She was a very special lady and friend. I pray you will find comfort in the memories during this difficult time.
