It broke my heart to hear of Marea's passing last night ! Marea stopped on the road in front of my house the day before she went into the hospital... She opened her passenger side window and I slid Archie through it ... He sat on her lap as he always put a huge smile on her face ! He kissed her alot. We laughed too ... We had a heart to heart talk for 10 minutes .We planned to visit her at home ... We were truly blessed to have known her , a real gem of a person! An incredible Mom ... sending the family all of the comforting hugs you need ! ... with a heavy heart and lots of love Ellie Quinn and Archie 💓
