I loved her. She was like a second mother for quite a few years. She was the first left handed person I’d ever known, and I was fascinated watching her do things with the “opposite” hand, of course it didn’t take much to amuse us back before cable TV and Internet. May she rest in peace with Jack, Tara, Mama Lucy, Papa Horace and Steve.
My players are with you Michelle. Your mom was a wonderful lady.
Michelle,
So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Much love- Sherry
I am so sorry about Carolyn. I worked with her. We were crossing guards under Doris Mims and Ilene Walker. She was such a sweet lady!
