Lark,
It has been a LONG LONG time since I have seen you and your family. Your Mother’s plants were always so beautiful and inviting when I would pass by when you all lived in Candler. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Ann, Lark, and all of the family,
We were so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. She was always so very kind and supportive when we were in school, and always ready to help host a sleep-over. May your happy memories bring you comfort. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
