Drewcila, I am so so sorry to learn of your mother’s death. Really was blessed to have gotten to know her and you. My heart goes out to you during this time of mourning. Know that you will be in my prayers for a long long time. And if you ever get back over here, please stop in to see me. Last time I saw you here, I tried together your attention and never did get you to look in my direction while I was mowing the yard. I guess I should have stopped and came over to talk to you, but I wasn’t 100% sure it was you until I asked Terri. You are a beautiful young lady and I am proud of the person you have become. Prayers to you and your families, ilona.
