Rick,
My deepest sympathy to you and Karen at this time. What a wonderful person your Mom (and Dad) were as we "grew up." I never thought they would let us play together after Bob, I think, sent you home with stitches in your head from an ice skate one of the first times we played together in our front yard. And she let us keep coming back for many, many years. Sometimes it must have felt like we lived and ate there. Yet she never complained. She did occasionally shout out "Richard John" Kurchyne which is where I first learned the importance of a middle name and the weight it carried in child development. Even as she got much older she still welcomed us in for a visit, even with the cats. She was truly special and we will all miss her.
