We send our sympathy to your family in the loss of your mother. We weren’t able to make it to visitation and won’t be able to make it to the funeral Lee has a Dr’s appointment after his surgery yesterday. Our love and prayers are with your family. Am so glad I got to spend some time with her on Friday. She was a special cousin and will miss her.
