Vickie, Linda and the Anderson family, I was sad to hear of your mothers passing. She was such a wonderful, caring person. Such great times I shared with you and your family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Just always remember you will now have a “guardian angel” that will watch over you. Take care and God bless you! Nina
