Tammy I'm so sorry! Your moma was a very special lady. We had many talks about the Lord. She never missed giving me a card on all occasions. I cherish the times we just sat and talked. Her children and grandchildren were her life. May God wrap his arms around her family and comfort all of you. She will be greatly missed by many. I love you Tammy.
