Your mother was such a gentle women . I remember Our Friday morning Hair appointment times. The regular women always had something to talk about. Just before she moved to Sunset the talk was always around what was the latest book she read. Always enjoyed your mom and I still treasure the little gift of a framed verse telling me how I make the world look better by making the women look better. Take comfort in rememberIng the precious times you had with your mom.
