Mary and Pete, I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I didn’t know about until today. When she was at Pine Forest I g to know her well. I would go play the piano so they could all sing and she had a beautiful voice. We enjoyed talking and when ever I stopped over there I would always take time to stop in and speak to her. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Brenda Brickell and Sidney Allen
