Mary Lou. I am very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My mom Vivianne LaFave was a life long friend of your mom's until her death back in the 90's. Your mom was always over our house and I have fond memories of her and your dad during my childhood. She was a loving woman and Im saddened by her passing.
