Welcome to the board and I am sorry to hear about your friend, but feel she is smiling down from above on you for what you have done for her children. Happy quilting.
Welcome from North Carolina. What a moving story. You lost a friend and neighbor but gained many stars in your crown for preserving her memory for her family and you.
Welcome to the Board. You are a very warm and caring person who was put in your friend's life for a purpose. I was born in Natchitoches and grew up in West Monroe.
