Dennis and Randy I have very fond memories of your Mother, she was a kind and wonderful woman. When we were in first grade I remember her trying to make me look reasonable! She combed my hair several different ways and told me it looked good either way! I will always remember that. I want to send my condolences to you and your family.

Dennis, Randy and family, I have many fond memories of your mom when we were kids on Norwegian St. She was so very nice to my boys when we visited her at Citrus Park in FL. They called her "the candy lady"
