Jim - not sure if you will remember me or not, but we went to school together. I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. I just lost my Dad in March of this year so I know how you are feeling. The pain does not go away, but she will live forever in the hearts of her family. God bless the entire Eckstrom Family - from the Swift Family.
