    I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I knew your mom from her many visits to the library. I worked there for many years and your mother was an avid reader. We would often chat during her visits while your dad waited for her in the parking lot. She often spoke lovingly of her family and how excited she was for their visits. Ms Shepherd was a kind, generous and wise lady, and made absolutely fantastic bread! She will be missed.
