Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. She was a friend and a sweet person. We will all miss her dearly. God gave me a wonderful friend in your mom. She was the one person who Vivian Gaines introduce me too that I truly admired. I will thank God every day for having given me this wonderful person to be a friend. I pray that God will give you and I the strength to carry on without her.
In Friendship & Faith,
Linda and Billy
