Sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family. You have been truly blessed to have your Mom all these years and her love. Cherish the memories and know she is still with you in your heart.
This breaks my heart. She was such a sweetie
I’m pretty sure my mom and Aunt Bea had the cards out and ready to play as she walked through the pearly gates. The greeting was probably….What took you so long? What a wonderful lady and aunt. She will be missed. Peace to you all.
My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Cottrill’s family. May God place his loving hands on you.
