To the Family of Tommie Ann, I only learned of your mother's death on yesterday! My heart goes out to you. She was a wonderful person, warm, friendly and caring and always pleasant. She was an asset to the cafeteria staff and the Andrews Elementary family. She was very proud of her family. May God bless and comfort you as you say good-bye to her. I know good memories will override the sadness in the days ahead.
