My only hope is that should DH or me need care in our senior years, that my sons will take as good care of us has you have given your Mother. She and you were very blessed. Enjoy your new angel.
Hugs

Boy the world gets smaller and smaller. I work with someone who remembers your Mother/Family. Sue, do you remember Ann Simon? She is part of dining services working in our main office. She will be emailing you.
Small, small world.

My condolences to the entire Craven Family. Sue, you and I were KVCC friends, remember? I recall many a time visiting your home and mother. I remember her as a very sweet soul. Do you recall our bus trip to Chicago one fall many years ago? I remember your mother telling me not to wear the new boots I had just purchased. Well, I did and boy did my feet pay for that mistake.
My best to you. Bless you all.
