Dear mother Quote by Rosalie Ham
““What time is the funeral" " Two pm." "Are you going, Sergeant?" "Yes." "Can anyone go?" "Anyone can go Beula, but only good people with respectful intentions should attend don't you think? Without Tilly's tolerance and generosity, her patience and skills, our lives - mine especially - would not have been enriched. Since you are not sincere about her feelings or about her dear mother and only want to go to stickybeak - well it's just plain ghoulish isn't it?””
