Unbelievable to hear of your Mother’s passing. She had attended Tappy’s visitation service in May of this year. Ever the faithful is the best way to describe your Mother. I remember when Tap and I were able to attend their 50th. She loved your Dad until the day he passed and beyond. You children and then the grandchildren brought her so much joy! You all have my deepest sympathy. God bless you Sister in Christ, Linda Elaine Butler Thomas. God speed to that special place in heaven.
