My sympathy on the passing of your mother. My husband Al worked at the KCP&L with your dad, and since we lived, and I still live 2 blocks east of Crysler on 27th St. we would go to see them at times. Don also rode to work with Al sometimes when Don's car was unavailable. Judy's death brings back memories. My husband died in April 2008. God Bless you with sweet memories.

Donna, I am so sorry hear about your Mom. She was a unique woman and I know you loved her very much. I remember playing Bunko at her house. We had a great time and laughed at her bird all evening! I feel fortunate to have met her. My prayers are with you. Cindy DeLong
