My sweet Mother was also my dear friend and mentor. We could be quilting, hiking, gardening, baking, praying or just sitting quietly in each other's company. There are so many lovely memories for which I am grateful and will cherish in the years ahead.

I have many fond memories of times with Jerry and Mary Lee. The times when we were young and broke to old and retired. She was a very special lady.
