Our thoughts are with you.
Bless you all and thanks from my sister and I. Losing mother has taken about 70% out of me spritually and emotionally, as after ten years of caregiving we had become more closer spiritually than many married people and now my “little golden egg” is broken. I’m unable to figure out how to get pictures here without spending $200 or more, see them on my facebook page. I’m at my sister’s in Keyser for a few weeks to heal. Just me, Richard Cox
