Connie, I am so sorry. Your mom was a very sweet lady. She and my mom became friends in Sunday school.
Thank you- I’m glad they did she loved her church family!
Mrs. Buchanan was a wonderful neighbor and friend. We will miss seeing her and her dog in their regular travels down the road. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you in this time of sadness.
