Just my Mother period and the many wonderful things that she has done for me, just because I was her son. I will always cherish her memory!
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I can remember her from hanging out with Mary growing up. She was always nice to me. She could always make me laugh.
I loved how she rubbed her bingo papers with her hands. I said Aunt Joyce, why do you do that? She said to make em hot kid. LOL rip aunt joyce ♡♡♡♡
