Mable was kind & loving, she will always be in my heart. I use to sit with her & she would tell me some of her past, how she & a friend would ride horse's down the streets of Mullins, SC. I never been there, but to ride a horse down main street is something, times have changed. She was also very protective about her pets, she loved animals. She is an amazing women.
