Mimi and family, we're so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. We have so many fond memories of both your parents. We traveled with them to many Lions functions and conventions. They both were special in so many ways. You can be assured we will remember them and continue to tell Marty and Mary stories. Our prayers are with all of you during this time of sadness.
