Sue & Randy - my heart goes out to you two. I so wanted to make it down to the service, but unforeseen issues prevented me from doing so. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you! The "ole gang" is now all together again and I am sure they are all having a grand old time! My sister, Shirley, also sends her condolences....
