Kim and Kelley, I remember playing paper dolls on your screened in porch on 14th street and your mother would come check on us and sometimes she’d join us. Your mother was always kind to me. Losing her must be very difficult for you. I hope your memories and hearing others’ memories of her will bring you some some comfort.
