Our condolences on the loss of your mom. My son (Alexander) & I volunteered a couple of summers as Friday delivery drivers for Meals on Wheels. Mrs. Legg was our last stop on our route. We were honored to get to know her a bit and hear about some of her wonderfully funny adventures. Our prayers go to your family during this difficult time.
Love, The Cooks
