Sweetie I would be surprised if you were taking it any way but hard. Know that we are here for you & all of your family- just to talk- give you a hug- or cry with you! Our hearts truly break for your loss as well as our own! You know… if it wasn’t for your darling mother I would have never tasted squirrel… (course, she didn’t tell me it was squirrel till I ate it & said it was good, lol) she really was a great cook too!
Thank you for you kinds words. If anyone would like to keep in touch with me my email is: ms****@em********.com. please let me hear from all. thank you for your kind words.
