Thankful Thursdays…for Family When Larry and I decided to return to Houston after 30+ years off and on in FL, it was because of family. It was time.  This hit home with me this week when I attended the funeral Mass for my sister-in-law’s mother. Mrs. A was a kind and loving woman. She had a deep ...
