Jamie,Pam, and Vickie, I just watched the beautiful memorial video and what a wonderful tribute to your parents and the three of you. I identify so much because I am also from a family with three girls and can see from the pictures what wonderful family times you shared. You are so blessed to have such memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
