December 28, 2012 at 12:00 amMy mom was here for Christmas and asked about your mother. When I told her today of your mom’s passing she reminded me of the days they worked together at the hosiery mill. Its ironic that both our parents worked together; our dads at Pittsboro Poultry. I know you will miss your mom, but she is Home now. Will be praying for you.
