Mickie and Bruce I just heard about your Mom last night and was so saddened to learn this. I always thought she was the sweetest thing... She would always go on about my kids when she was at Hillcrest and just went out of her way to do anything she could to make them feel special. I will never forget that, She was truly a precious lady. Please know that we are praying for your family for peace and comfort. Jimmy and Beverly Lowrance
