Please accept my sympathy for the passing of your Mother. She and I, years ago when you all were children!, used to spend time visiting and catching up on each others activities. She, your father, my husband and I would have some fun playing "hearts" in the evenngs when we would be visiting my parents! I know that you will miss her. I plan to be at the calling hours on Friday. Rayma Carter Wilson
