John you don’t know me, but I knew your Mom very well. She and my Momma (Harriett Hoobler) worked at several functions for the Red Mountain Church. When my momma was on hospice here at the house, your Mom would come over every week to work on quilts for the church. They were with the sewing group together, women assoc.
I am so sorry for loss. Your mom was truly a great person and heaven’s quilting group has gained another angel.
