Steve, I knew your mother for the past few years at Laurel House. My mom lives there, too. She always had a great smile and would ask me if I knew her son in the Wheelman's club. I would tell her no, but add that I had seen bikes out front sometimes and that would make her happy. So sorry to hear of your loss. Even though I knew little about her, she was always the "lady with a big smile" to me and I know you and your family will miss her deeply.

Steve and Phyllis, so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. She was a big part of TWBC even though she didn't ride a bicycle. Sorry, I am out of town for the Memorial Service. Take Care, Carla

Steve - We just found out today that your mom passed away on the 12th, so our belated condolences go out to you and Phyllis. We have many fond memories of your mom, helping out at many of the bike potlucks at your house and at other events. She always had a very kind and warm heart. I'm sure she is smiling down on you now in appreciation for all the wonderful care you and Phyllis provided for her during these past years. Hope you find more peace and comfort with each passing day.
