Michael, I´m so sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. I worked with her a couple years at the PBX at Cedar Point. She was so soft spoken and kind. She always spoke highly of you but never knew what to buy/send you for special occasions. She would say, "You´re always safe with socks!"
Did you receive a far amount of socks over the years?
Michael, am sending you my condolences as you mourn/celebrate your mom´s passing. Lifting you in prayer. I am blessed to have know Phyllis. She was a special lady!
God Bless You!
