    Wonderful woman. She looked after the children, so that the Obamas could administrate, without worrying about the girls. She, too, served the country. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

    ❤”her understanding that the world’s roughest edges could be sanded down with a little grace”. Beautiful quotation. Thank you for that.
  • My prayers go to the family- She was beautiful. There's NOTHING like the pain of losing your mother. Mine passed away almost a year ago and it doesn't get easier...you just deal.
