Becky, Eddie and Georgie and families, our very deepest sympathies in the loss of your mom. I have a lot of memories of staying at your house when we were in high school and having so much fun there. Your mom was always so welcoming. My heart aches for you. " He will cover you with His feathers and under His wing, you will find refuge." Psalm 91:4
