You must be so much like your Mom. Please hold your memories close. I am holdingvyou close in my thoughts. Hugs to you. Take care. Melody

  3. My heartfelt sorrow for the loss of your mother, Cindy. You know we were such good friends. I loved her. She taught me how to knit, crochet and even how to help her with quilting when I decided to give all my children and grandchildren quilts for Christmas one year. I am so thankful that you let me into your life when she was living with you, and got to know you for the wonderful person and daughter you are. As long as you are alive, Miami will always be with us.
    Love to you and your family.

  4. My deepest sympathies to all Miami family. She was such a talented, friendly lady. She and husband John were very close friends to my Aunt & Uncle (Jack & Bonnie Irwin) always enjoyed their company. Miami also worked for Brooke/Inwood telephone with my mother in law Jenny Phillips. I believe it was her first job after high school. Special memories of a very special person.
