Dear Sandy, I will miss going out for flowers with your Mom. We always had so much fun. I remember caring for a flower in my garden and wait for it bloom, only to told by your Mom that it was a weed! Your Mom had the greenest thumb. She had the best flower garden. I am proud to have some of her flowers in my garden. Your Mom and I shared the love for peach pie. When you and your Mom,
would go shopping, She often pick up a small pie to me.
I will miss her dearly.
