Sorry to read of your mothers passing. She always looked dressed up, like she had just bought a new outfit and had her hair done. I don’t ever remember her looking like a farmers wife. I’m glad I got to see you all at the Kelso Reunion in 2006. Will keep you in my prayers.

You will always be in my heart.
