    Kim,
    Thinking of you and your family tonight, but especially of your wonderful Mama. What a beautiful photo you have displayed of her. I smile to myself thinking about her quick wit and sassy ways. She was one of a kind, Kim, and I will miss her. Thankful to have had her in my life as well as you my dear. Heart filled hugs to you.
    Nancy
