Thank you for allowing me to share the love of your family and mother for many years
Your mother introduced me to raw oysters along with her passion for azaleas and flair in life.
I won't review what Tina introduced me to ! Haha
I tried to find her and you all years ago and could not. I love you all.
But at our 40 th HS reunion Tina and I reconnected thru Facebook. Of all things!

I wish you peace during this time to remember and please know I am thinking of you
There truly is nothing like a mothers love when you assess the bottom line.
