Tom, Sharon, Tim, Susan and families....even though it has been many many years, since I saw your Mom she had an everlasting impact on me. I will always remember her quick wit and her smile even during certain tragic events from my childhood. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all and comfort you during this trying time. Love to you all.
