    I’m sorry you are gone but I’m glad you’re not here. I will miss my random hugs but will always have them for when I need them. As always, my friend, I love you.....but of course, you “know that”.

    I am so sad to learn of Ms Cochran’s passing. My mother met her as they were both residents of ACNC. My mother died in August. I would visit Ms Cochran when I traveled to visit my mother. I paid her to crochet a knitted cap for my grandson. He loves it. I had hoped to have more of her handiwork. Please know she is missed.
