Tracie truly sorry for your loss heart felt sympathy and prays to you.
Tracie- very sorry to hear of your loss. Max called me today. I was part of the Breakfast Club at the Village Inn.for many years but not as long as your mother’s. We had so many good times together.
I was lucky to get to know Dee through the OEA. She was such a kind person and I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to know her and spend time chatting with her. My sincere sympathy to her family.
