Dear Flint and family, I am so sorry to hear about your moms passing. Your mom was such a wonderful person and I know she is missed by all who had the privilege to know her. She was always so happy to see you when you stopped or walked past her and I know my mother always enjoyed visiting with her. We were so blessed to have such wonderful mothers in our lives. I wish I could be there to celebrate her life with you I know it will be a very special time. I pray you feel Gods comfort in this time of grief. Take care Mary Carlucci
