Condolences & Memories (2 entries)

  • I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember when she made homemade chicken noodle soup, she had the big pot of soup on the stove and she had hamburger in it. My mother never made it like hers. She asked me if I would like some and it was delicious, and I've never forgot that. She also had the patience of gold. She will truly be missed.
