Denise CurryMay you know she'll always be a part of you and all you've grown to be. And the happiness that's in your heart will be the memories you've created together. With deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother. I'll always cherish the memory that I have. One Christmas she had my name in the gift exchange, I must have been 7? She bought me a grey fake fur shawl and I thought that was the prettiest, most glamorous gift! Such a joy it was to receive!!!
