A late Mother's Day item, this especially for all our fellow Okies:

A woman was taken into custody at a Florida Wal-Mart recently after officials found the woman's mother, Melba Doshier, of Covington, Okla., sitting in their car -- dead.

Shoppers apparently had complained of a stench coming from the vehicle.

Alicia Doshier was being evaluated. She apparently drove from Oklahoma to Florida with her decomposing mother, but officials have not determined why.

And to all mothers out there, alive or otherwise, Happy Mother's Day!
