It is always so difficult to lose your mom or your mom-mom. My heart goes out to the whole Bodmer family. Someone once said that the true tomb of the dead is the heart of the living. I believe that to be true.

Dear Fred, Peg, Mike, Peggi & Families

Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom & Mom-Mom. We were happy to have known her. Have to tell you that my most vivid memory of her is dancing up a storm in the wine cellar at Glen Ford for Fred & Jackie's wedding. She certainly enjoyed life!!
