      Hi Joyce. I remembered your mom from Dr. Marks. She was always so sweet. I remember when I found out she was your mother. You were friends with Randy from Kroger. I hope you remember who I am. So sorry to hear about your mama.

    I had the blessing of working for Mrs. Powell as a Homecare Aide, and a most interesting and wonderful person she was. I will be forever grateful for getting acquainted with her!
