I was surprised when I saw Anita’s post on FB. I’ve enjoyed over the years her posting of your Mom, as it was a way for me to have her in my life and brought back memories of my younger years!! I guess I was surprised, as I’d not see anything about her health declining. May you be comforted by memories of your Mom, and the Peace that the Lord has promised. ❤️
