I am sorry for your loss. I enjoyed talking with your Mom when we´re back there in Ohio. I remember our first conversation as a newlywed to Diana Barnhart. We were at the house you folks grew up in and she asked me about a bottle of wine. I was from California and therefore, I guess, a wine expert. Alas I had nothing to contribute. But I did enjoy talking with her, then and many times more. To me it seemed that she always listened. I hope you all celebrate the good memories, as I will.
