Barry and Harriet and all your families - I was very saddened to learn of your mother's passing and wished that I had been notified so I could have attended the graveside services. I loved your mother and admired her willingness to keep going no matter what. My mother is suffering from some dementia but we'll tell her that Shirley died.
