I have always been amazed that anytime I went anywhere (and I mean anywhere!) with my mother, that she would run into someone that she knew. I was always amazed at how this woman could know and remember so many people, but could never find her keys! Her passing has only reinforced this to me as I have been inundated with prayers, blessings, and well wishes from so many people who loved my mom. It has truly been a great comfort to know that she was surrounded by so many people that loved her. That being said, please do not hesitate to spread this post and the information herein.
Thank you all for your kind words and well wishes. Please know a very difficult week has been made much easier through all of you.
Jimmy and Julie
