I'm sorry to see that your very lovely mother passed. I was friends with your mother when she lived at Contempo Marin
she would come into the office and we would have a discussion about the new color of the clubhouse that was just painted. She said it was orange and did not like it. I said it was yellow and we would just laugh ourselves silly.
