To the family of Seaweed: Our family, Tom, Jolene and especially Flannery sends you all good wishes during this sad time. We're so glad that Flannery had a chance to meet Oriana's Grandmother. Her trips "south" with the Smith clan have been special. I only regret that she didn't have a good Italian meal with both of Heather's parents. Love to all of you. Jolene, Tom and Flan.
