My sincere condolences!
My fondest memories of your mother , Bobby, include you and preschool.
Did you know she was terrified that you would leave Preschool to find her at the courthouse? We both worried about that a great deal! She was a wonderful kind woman and she is going to be missed by so so many people. Fondly “Miss Julia”
