Sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear of your mothers passing
Kathy and family. I’m so sorry to hear of your moms passing. There is no one in ours lives like our mothers. Prayers for your family.
Kack was one of my favorite “mother of a friend” … she and Greg got me eating baloney on toast with mustard slathered on the toast for lunches… good memories of the Mess house
Sue I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to lose a family member. Sending you love and hugs.
Asking the good Lord to comfort the family of my childhood friend, Kack Grady.
She is the last of her birth family and as I reflect on Bill, Mary Ellen, Ginny and Aunt Maw I know they have been waiting patiently for her arrival. Kack is home now!
