Hugs to Mary Elizabeth and all the Blaha family! I have so many fond memories of your mom and have forever treasured “my” teacup from our visits. I can still picture her seated high in the van as she drove to Marshalls on days new merchandise arrived by truck! She was also precursor to Dave Ramsey’s envelope method of budgeting for a family with nine children. I learned so much about resilience and perseverance from her! She was loving … and well-loved, another beautiful angel watching over you all!
