What can I say. Well, your mother was so much like mine. She was an excellent mother, housewife, seamstress, friend, and a joy to be with. Had chances to talk to her about my life and about her life and family. She lived all of her children, sons in law, daughter in law. Her grandkids and great grandpa were her special spots of light. She also had live for my grandsons, two of which were twins. Always wanted to hear about them. Was always concerned about my family, too. Gerald and I will miss her more than anyone will know. Didnāt see or talk to her every day but she knew we were here and she could call on us. Charline, we will miss you and thank you for your love and friendship to us. ā¤ļø
