    I am heartbroken for you all ❤️. She was the sweetest lady and always so good to me. I have many beautiful memories of her that I will cherish forever. Her home was like a second home to me and I will always remember how she used to have my bed sheets turned down for me before I went to bed. I remember it being so comforting. Hugs and love to you all ❤️
