Francine,
My mom passed when I was 5 yrs old & my dad didn't know what to do with me for years :) seeing that you had summer dresses ,we went to your house and he asked your mom if she can make me some too.She did! I was so happy with my pretty little homemade dresses. What a blessing that she did that for me. I will always remember that...you have been in my thoughts since I heard of her passing.Although we mourn,we also celebrate the promise of that reunion.We will see our loved ones again.In the mean time, we continue to honor them.Wishing you peace and love....
