Karen, My deepest sympathy during this trying time. May the Lord bring peace and comfort to you and your family.
So sad to hear. I remember when we were very small coming to the house when they lived in the cities. We caught fireflies and placed them in mason jars. My sister Cindy, could have been no more than 2 or 3. I also remember staying in the house attached to the liquor store. How we got so many people in that tiny place was amazing! Pat always had a smile and a great sense of humor. Take care. Julie
My deepest sympathies Karen to you and your family on the loss of you mother
Condolences… Prayers for your family.
VERY SORRY. OUR PRAYERS FOR HER.
