She was like a second mom to me.A very good friend to Ma! One of the many ways she helped people is when she stayed with our family and took care of us.Everyone in our family had food poisoning.She took over and stayed with us for days until our family was well. I loved her breeze way and blackberry sheet desert. What a lady!
