My dearest Agnes, I join you in feeling the void that will be created in the transitioning of mom. I will miss her ready smile: her kind words: her soft voice and mostly her loving arms. She gave the best "mama" hugs in the world. Praise God, we will see her again ... she is with her Lord & Savior now. I loved her!! All my love to you and the Hairston family. Velma
