Ralph, Jr. your mom was a wonderful lady. She was such a dedicated staff member for so many years at ABC. I will always remember the fun times we had together. I loved her pretty smile and jovial manner. I will always be grateful for the way she loved and cared for all of the children through the years. I will never forget the day she told me she was '80'. I was in shock! She had as much energy or more than I did. I will always remember her and am blessed to have had her and your family in my life. With love, Laura Mackey
