Gail and family : I have so many fond memories of being at your house when you, Sandra and I were in high school. I remember going on those great fishing trips with your family and eating your Momβs great cooking. My Mother, Mary Lee, passed away July 18, she would have been 97 next January. We certainly will miss our dear Mothers. My condolences to each of you and I will pray for you – now and in the coming days.
Love you Grandma!
You will be missed by all of us! Anita, Jo Russell. I had a wonderful 5 years taking care of her and Penny
