I am so sorry for your loss. I first met your mom as a 4th grade teacher friend at Bloomfield. She had a smile and kind word for everyone. She and your dad were wonderful people! They both shone when they came to Babeck School to "help" Santa and Mrs. Claus each year. To have known Don and Claire was my blessing. Praying for your family at this difficult time. Love to all!
