I met your precious mother after the flood. She was a sweet and special lady who took every challenge presented to her head on. She visited Town and Country Furniture searching for special items to fill her flooded home, never complaining about her devastation. She became a dear friend. Her her energy and sweet smile were an encouragement to everyone here. I'll always treasure her memory.
