I have many memories of gatherings for holidays when your Mom and Velma and the other women in the family would make Creamette salad for summer holidays, and lamb cakes (for Easter), and take flowers to the cemetery for "Decoration Day" and always have a little something for the little ones in the family. Those will always be warm recollections of a more sane, centered, peaceful time. I trust there is a happy celebration in Heaven at the reunion of all these wonderful ladies. Love and prayers go out for you and yours for the comfort that only faith in Jesus can bring — the assurance of blissful eternal life.
