“Love” You more mom
Terry, Tony and Caprice,
I just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you and your families and are very sorry for your loss. I remember when I was younger how nice your mom always was.
You are in are prayers.
Right now she is back to carrying the penny jar and rattling the Yahtzee cubes with her sissys. All of us in the family remember the endless nights of rattling from the Yahtzee cup and having to always carry around the jar of pennies to every outing. Maybe they can finally settle who’s Tupperware that was lol.
