Hi Mary, Today is Thanksgiving, and I remembered how much you loved to get the family together to eat, laugh and be happy. We missed you today and every day since you took your wings and flew away to be with the Lord. Tell the family we love them and we will see them when God call us home. I love you! Barbara
