Dearest Linda, my thoughts and prayers are with you in the loss of your Mom. She was blessed with a long and good life. I have memories of the Hobby time store and your mom and Aunt Delores. Your parents were good people. Remember when you and I went to Denver to pick up craft items? God comfort your heart and bless her memory. Love, Donna
