To my dear friends, Jeannie & Bobby. What can I say? I am so, so sad for you both and for me too. Your mom was a warm and loving woman who was gentle and sweet. She always made me smile. I admired her as a human being as well. I enjoyed working with her and learned many things from her too. I will miss her very much, but I have many happy memories of her. RIP my dear friend.
