I am so sorry for your loss. I loved your mother so much. My Mama, your Aunt Mildred, and your Mama shared the same birthdate. Mama always said that she was her bday present. I will always have fond memories of the times we spent together at Mamaw and Papaws farm. I truly believe that she is with Freddie and they are sitting at the feet of Jesus giving Him praise.
