Glenda and Pat, I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet mother! She lived a long life and had many friends. Your mother was a kind, generous, and all around good person. She loved her family and she was loved. My mom counted her as her best friend. While growing up Johnny, Jerry, and I knew she was there for us if needed. Prayers for both of you and all the family for comfort and strength!
