Ellen, your mom, from what I remember, was precious. Always welcoming, my mom away from home, and valued the friendship we have. I’m sorry she is no longer physically present, but she is with you in your heart and thoughts always. Sincerely, Paula
Prayers for her family . 🙏🙏
Grieve not
Nor speak of me with tears
But laugh and talk of me
As though
I were beside you
I loved you so
‘Twas Heaven here with you .
RIP 🙏 Dear friend ❤
