Ann, Steve, Amy & Becky,
I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I remember her fondly. She was always present at school functions and always made me feel so at home when Kristen and I were at your house. She was lucky to have such a wonderful family. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
