    Sincere Condolences to the Botham Family on the passing of your Mom. As a young girl growing up, I always enjoyed talking to Mrs. Botham following church service or at special events at Rich Hill; such a lovely, kind lady. I connected with Irene at Good Samaritan before the Pandemic, while visiting my Mom Florrie, and wanted to extend my sympathy.
