Pat; so sad to hear of the passing of your mom. I remember her helping us girls during ‘ladies hockey games’. We had a lot of fun back then.
May her memories comfort you during those moments/ Days of loneliness .
Thank you Janet
I am sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing, may you find peace and comfort in your memories. I remember her standing at the door in her housecoat when the bus arrived in the morning to pick you up. She always waved and had a smile on her face.
Thank you Karen 🙂
