Dear MaryBeth and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your moms passing, MaryBeth, I worked for you at Sunny97 and later worked for State Farm where your mom had her insurance, we loved talking about what you had accomplished, please know how proud she was of you and your daughter and how much she loved you both. May God give you and your family peace and comfort knowing your mom is with her lord and savior.
God Bless you all, Debbie Ries
