Doug, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. We are in Florida and I just saw the notice. My condolences to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to all of you as you mourn the loss of Jean. She was a true lady with class and kindness that was her trademark. Always welcoming and caring. I learned never to add water to cream of mushroom soup after knowing her...has to be milk. May all your great memories of her bring you comfort as you move through your grief. God Bless. Debby Kenny
