Kathy, We are so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was such a wonderful lady. I'll never forget how she made friends with my mother at the Willows. I knew if I couldn't find my mom, she was probably visiting with Mrs. Hershiser. May the wonderful memories of your mom help your sadness of your mom's passing. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
