Pam,Tammy, and the rest of the kids. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom in December, and know how much it hurts. I will always remember her. Sandy
she was a really nice lady every time my son or daughter came to her house she always invited them in and ask them if they needed something to eat or drink she was always nice
I just found out that Chena and Howard were my foster parents from back in the sixties.I never got to know them as an adult. I do know that i’m a good person and it had to start with them because i was an infant when placed there. Thank you Chena and Howard and may your souls rest in heaven.
