I have so many fond memories of your mother as one of my Arthritis Foundation Water Exercise class members. She was very special, always smiling and with a very positive attitude toward life. I remember many stories she shared with me about her trips to Russellville with Madge Woodford and Marie Smith. They had a wonderful bond and friendship and continued to enjoy their friendship for many years.
Blessing to you and your family.
