The Todd Family, I'm sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My Aunt went to elementary school with Carl(Butch) and she remembers her as a very sweet mother and one of the first to always volunteer to help with the kids. I knew her best thru her cooking when she would send the best spaghetti sauce in the world with Tony to share with his friends. We'll keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
