Patti & Bonnie,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Think of all the good times and wonderful memories you shared. Remember when we used to go to work with you mom on weekends and put the filing in ABC order on the floor down the hall? Every time I hear an older Beatles song I think of pretending to be the Beatles rehersing in your living room sprawled all over your mom's furniture. Raking all those leaves in your backyard which actually turned out to be fun! Your mom played a big part in creating such wonderful childhood memories!!

Patti,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I lost my Mother almost 3 years ago. I cherish every memory every day. My prayers are with you.
