I had the pleasure of meeting your wonderful mother through my parents, Harold and Maria Blum more than 25 years ago. She was such a delightful lady and always had a kind word for everyone she met. I know that you will miss her tremendously.

God bless you all and may there be smiles in your heart once again as you recall all the fond memories of your sweet mother.

We will miss this remarkably witty and intensely charming Charleston personality. It was always a pleasure to be in her company during family visits. She definitely lit up a room! Our warm and loving thoughts go out to the entire family, especially Wesie and Lisa.
