October, 1981 my motherss parents died 10 days apart. Her dad of cancer on Oct. 3 and her mother legally due to cancer as well, but we in the family know it was due to a brokenheart. Her mother passed on Oct. 13.
Fast forward 25 years to Oct. 13, 2006, the woman who Mom and her brother and sisters looked to as their surrogate mother passes away at 11:23pm
Mary McDuff Hightower, you were a blessed woman, strong beyond amazement to be able to raise all the kids that you did (a butt load). I love you and will miss you dearly, my Mongee.
