Your Mom was a very special Auntie to me and I enjoyed all our conversations over the years. She always had a laugh & her smile was so beautiful! She gave her heart into everything she did. Auntie Elaine was so kind to Savanna, she still has the basket & doll she gave her at my Moms funeral. She was so thoughtful to do that. Savanna enjoyed visiting with your Mom when we went up north to visit my Dad. Special lady who will always be in my heart. God bless all of you at this difficult time. Much love & peace!
