Bill & Diane: I just learned of your mom's passing. I wanted to send you a card but believe you moved from Pembroke? Please know that I am thinking of you. Bill I never realized you were one of 12! Add to that your mom had 45 grandchildren and 51 great-grandchildren - she was certainly well lived and very well loved! Blessings to you and your family.
