Sandra and famliy, Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mother. She was one resident at Village Green that I wished I had known in her earlier years. I have a tremendous respect for the lost art of women that were great seamstresses, and I never knew that about your mother. I always knew she was a very self assured woman that was one smart cookie, and you have a lot to be proud of. And you took such good care of your mother as I could tell by how many times we crossed paths at Village Green. My mother, Eunice Smith and I, her daughter, Vickie know your sweet mother is in a better place, God rest her soul. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and family.
