  1. My dear Pam; I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was truly a good woman and friend to me. I have known her for at least 21 years. She has seen my children grow up too. It is funny, but my kids still remember her and playing with the kitties at her house. She was more than a customer to me. She was a great role model and she did teach me things about life and to how to treat people. Thank you for letting her come into my life. I will miss her.
