Thinking of you and your family during this sad time. It is a sad time for the family and her friends but it is a joyous time for her. Easter is a wonderful time to remember what Christ’s death and resurrection means to all of us! And especially now for your Mom, Debbie.

I imagine Rose Mary was right there to greet her good friend at the gate. So sorry for your loss Debbie.
I hope you find many smiles in your own memories and the discussions that are around you now.
I still have some of the ceramics that your Mom made,
the treasure chest is still on top of my dresser, almost 50 years later.
