I am so sorry for your loss. Sending thoughts and prayers❤️
My deepest sympathies to the families and prayers to comfort.
Just moving in she would be sitting outside. I’d come letting the cat out. And I set down with her talking about all kinds of stuff. She was one of the kindest and loving people I’ve had the joy of meeting in my life. I thank u God for letting me meet her. I feel blessed
