Erin, I am so sorry you lost your Mom. Your Mom and I were always happy to see each other and talk about you and my daughter. She was so proud of you and Mackenzie. We had quite a few family celebrations over the years and had a lot of laughs. I will miss her.
You are correct, she will always be watching over you and Mackenzie. She was a lovely lady with a sweet soul.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Nancy. I remember meeting her out at Nabnasset at your parents home. Where have the years gone. I know you have a strong faith, a good daughter and granddaughter who will help with the pain. Say hi to your mom, and sisters for me. Still think of your dad often. Gone to soon.
