Jennifer, we're so sorry to hear of the death of your mother. She had such a flair decorating for parties. I remember the tons of flowers she brought to decorate St E's hall for the graduation dinner, tropical style. What a beautiful, fun loving lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
