ReplyBecky,, Javie and Paula,
We were very sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was a great lady and I will always remember her. I know Connie didn’t know her but she sends her deepest sympathy. Now she’s with J.R. and brother Tim but you’ll always have them with you anytime with thoughts of ever fondness.
