Alas, she died in 2006, but I know she would have reveled in listening to the two of you as well because of the ease of your relationship and the joy you two bring to others. Thanks for being my surrogate mom/daughter relationship. <br /><br />May your love for each other continue to knitted into the fabric of your lives for many, many more years!<br /><br />PTorahThreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298611722674138047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1090831403111240801.post-68890066264180573462011-01-21T20:12:48.586-08:002011-01-21T20:12:48.586-08:00Happy birthday to the singularly fabulous Gigi!
