"I am sorry that she passed. She was a wonderful person. I would visit her when ever I came home from the army. She was everyone's 2nd mom. I don't know how she put up with everyone in and out her house constantly. I wish I would have stayed in touch better. Best wishes to the whole family and my thoughts will be with you all. Mark Green"
