Dave and family
I'm sorry to hear about your mother's passing. I enjoyed the few times I had the opportunity to be around her quite a few years ago. She loved her family and doting on Alyssa.

I'm sorry to hear about Katie's passing. I learned lot from Katie. Things like how to use flowers that dropped from the trees to make leis, how to unravel on old sweater to make a new one,and how to cook rice. It was a fun day when she showed us her Japanese clothes. She was the most fun mother in the neighborhood. She was always engaged with the kids and was always doing something interesting. I hope you can find peace in your memories.
