I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom, Joey, I loved her very very much. I first met your mom when I started work at Stark she had already been there for some time. She always had a loving friendly smile and attitude a kind heart and love for her fellow man. We finally figured out we both knew one of her best friends Mary Stengel Edelhuber and after that we really had some good times. There where some times when I would pick up things at the chicken store for her are she would ride down there with me and we would just look and shop. You can be proud of the fact that you mom was an angel n we all loved her and will miss her much. I sent a plant so you please take it home are one of your sisters.
Sorry for the loss of your mother Joey, Our thoughts are with you and your family thru this difficult time. May God wrap you all in his arms and help you to find comfort during your time of need. If there is anything we can do please let us know. God bless you all
