Ruby and Gaynell, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. During my 60th reunion from Mather Academy we discussed play daughtera and play mothers. You probably remember that we use to have play mothers and daughters at Mather. Joycelin was my play daughter. Two of her classmates asked me about her recently. I will let them know. Reflection is a good healing measure. Reflect on the wonderful times that you shared. Thee Lord is our strength and refuge and will sustain us. You are surrounded by thoughts and prayers during this time and forever. Carrie Sinkler-Parker
