Betsy and Amy and families I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was always so friendly to me everytime I saw her, even after daycare days. She always had a smile on her face and she always talked about her girls, I think that's what i remember about her most. She loved her girls. You guys are in my prayers and thoughts. I still remember the excitement she had when those grandkids came along. This life has lost a true friend.
