Gary, Bruce and Pete-I have very fond memories of your mom and the time I shared with your family. It was obvious from the time we were kids that your mother loved and cared for you all deeply.

There is a time for all of us to leave and I am sure the cycle of life is purposeful-you are all in my thoughts and prayers
