Mike, thank you for having Sherrie contact us to let mom know about your mom passing away. We are so sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, mom's mental condition is such that she may not remember who your mom was. I do, though and always appreciated her being a loyal friend to mom. I will always remember her as the spitfire that took a lot of grief from Earle, but threw it all back at him and continued to come and see mom regardless. When mom is having a good day, I will let her know about Carla. Again, so sorry for your loss. Brenda Andrews (daughter of Shirley Finch)
