I appreciate you letting me know about the passing of your mother, Renae. I have wonderful memories of all of the time I spent over at your house. I always felt like a member of your family ~ I just could never get up at 6:00 a.m. like the rest of you! Your house always smelled of homemade bread, I loved it! I love your mom and dad and am happy that she is finally back with your dad. You have a great family!
Love you,
Mary Ann
