Tommy, Terry, Timmy, and Tammy,
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I last saw her at my mom's services a year ago. My mom was Annebelle Savidge Deuel. Our moms went to school together and knew each other for years and years.
I'm sure you don't remember me, but I used to babysit for all of you way back when you guys were little in the early 70s.
My condolences on your loss and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
