Chandlers,
Sorry Claudia and I cannot come to the service...we are down in Florida for March. I remember all the holidays at Aunt Babe's house with Aunt Betty, Uncle Chum and their kids. Chum was usually late after having been to Monmouth Park. Aunt Betty had her hands full with so many kids. Fun times....still think of them when I see other families having parties.
