Dear 2nd Family (AKA Bloomer Control),
Listening to the 60's music cranked way up and sliding across the wooden floors on sheets.....It was your Mom that taught us that cleaning can be fun! The memories that we have of her, as well as all of you guys, are of loving each other, how to enjoy life and how to have fun in what ever it is that you do. She was a special lady and we know that she is once again wearing her "fly by night" outfit,lookimg so happy being with her loved ones and is smiling down at you guys right now.
WEEEEEEE DOGIIIIIIIEEEEESSSS! =)
RIP Peggy, We love you!
Frances and Mattie
