We lived in middle Tennessee and she was born and raised in Shelbyville Tennessee which is famous for Walking Horses. Alot of people in that area own a variety of horses and every road trip to her home town for visits we would always see beautiful magnificent white horses. Many a wishes made and truly a lifetime of great memories. Even at her age of 90, before her passing, she continued making fun loving wishes!
