    My heart aches for you. We only get one Mom and best friend. Although I can just imagine her greeting in Heaven! You lived in a great neighborhood but sadly it’s disappearing. Your Mom and Dad, Doug and Christie, Darrell and Betty, Russ and Mae Hammond just to name a few. So hard to lose so many amazing people. I hope your happy memories will bring you some peace at this hard time. Healing hugs sent to you. You are loved.
