Ann and family,
I was so sorry to learn of your sweet mother´s passing. May God wrap his loving arms around her as she travels her eternal journey. Please accept my most heartfelt sympathy. I fondly remember her from the Glen Echo days. She was always up for a good time and that beautiful smile was contagious. Linda Vaughn Potter
