Your mother and I have the same name and both of us were born in 1937. I found out about her when her Dr and Hospital charges appeared on my insurance. I went to visit her several times and even played Bingo with her once. I’m sorry to hear of her passing. I too am in real estate with Coldwell Banker Pat Dickey Realtors in Crockett. I hope all your memories are good ones.
