Keith and Kim,

I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. When she lived with you I enjoyed sitting under the gazebo with her and listening to her stories....she had some good ones. I loved to hear her yelling for the Yankees. I enjoyed "rolling" the dice with her, she always managed to get the number she needed to win the game. Keep her memories close to your heart and she will always be with you.

God bless you all.
