Robert, Dorothy, Bob, Liz, Cathy and Patty - My condolences to you all and your families. It is hard to find the right words as I hear of your Mom's passing. I have many memories from the teenage years (i.e. Friday night teen square dancing). I am praying that God will watch over all of your beautiful family and give you the strength to endure.
