Joan & Paul, please accept our condolences on your Mom's passing. She will be remembered as a kind, gentle woman with a good sense of humor and a big baseball fan. When we think of her, we see her on the front porch with Foxy, smiling and waving in a friendly way. She'll have a huge Plaza Pl welcome from above! Thinking of you and your families. Peace to you all.
