  7. Lori and Kim – peace to your families and your hearts ♥️ it is so hard and sad to say goodbye to our mamas. Dementia started taking her away awhile ago but that doesn’t stop the pain of her passing. I remember your mom as having a very strong personality, and not taking any fuss from the kids in her home. And I remember her divinity! It was so good!
