So sorry to see this. De and my Mom went to school together. After my Mom died, De would send me cards every few months. I enjoyed receiving them and she would comment on whatever I posted on Facebook.
I am so sad to hear of her passing. De would always visit me at the Warm Springs Post office when she came in. She always wanted the prettiest and most different stamps I had. We enjoyed many conversations together.
Rest in peace, beautiful lady.
