Jeff,
I wanted to offer my condolences to you and your family. I remember her as being a loving mom to you boys growing up. I also remember her as being and a very good cook. How could I forget the "congo" bars you used to bring to school. I'm not sure about my spelling of those chocolate chip bars but I do remember they were good! In addition I used to stop by and see her while at gift buying appointments at the Welch Company a few years back. It was always a pleasure to talk with her.

Best wishes my friend!
