Jennifer and Christy: So sorry to hear about your Mom. Please have comfort in knowing that she is completely pain free and at peace. So thankful that she was able to attend 2015’s cousin reunion, and that I was able to see her and spend time with her. God bless each of you and your families. Christy you know where we live, so please come see us sometime. Take care……Sharon Wolf
