I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your wife/mother. Our mother died at the same age. You probably do not remember me, but I went on some canoe trips with you in the past. Continue to enjoy one another and the humor you all share, knowing that is what gave so much joy to Sheila. You are a wonderful family and have passed along your joy to many others.
