I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother.
I wanted to go visit with her. I also wanted to visit with you while you was here. I hope if and when you return to Arkansas I will get to see you. I will try to contact you.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family, Linda. I just learned of her passing today. She will be missed. I always looked forward to seeing her. The rose bush she gave me will always remind me of her during the coming years.
