Carol, Cindy, Joey and Jason...I'm so saddened by the news of your Mom's passing. I wish I could have been there for the services. I always loved you Mom and thought she was so sweet and kind. I loved looking at the photo gallery. Your Mom and Dad were a beautiful young couple. So many wonderful memories at Holly Springs. The loss of a parent even at our age is so difficult but we were all blessed to have had such good caring parents. Praying for peace and comfort in the days ahead. Much love♥
