Dear Allyson, you certainly made your mother’s passing easy for her. In was wonderful that we all had the chance to say our goodbye to our dear friend and one of the’Tall tunas”. Alma, Fonny and I had so many fun times at the Y and our lunches twice a week. Alma was loved by so many of us. It won’t be the same for us but she will be our angel in heaven as I told her to prepare for us at our age it won’t be too long. Love to all your family.

We grew up together in the “formative years”. I remember Alma as a vivacious, smart, perceptive. kind and loving woman. She dominated the kit he. And could even make the most basic sandwich h taste like magic. Even packaged pottoe chips tasted better … Because Alma put them on the plate. Right now, I am tasting Alma’s spe ial. Ole slaw salad … With extra paprika. Wham! I love your mom and have carried her open, in your face spirit with me. She will be forever with you Allison, not only in spirit. She is a part of you and will always, always be with you. Xoxo
