Dear Delonnie (WW), She said, just love me-and you did just that in every thought and action toward your Mother. I feel as though I know your Mom. I am grateful to her and thankful for the gift she continues to give in the legacy of her family; and, what a legacy! There are no words I could attempt to express that would comfort you during this difficult time but please accept our deepest condolences and know that our thoughts and prayers are lifting you and your family. In friendship, Lisa, Mike and RU
