I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, Grace. She was a wonderful woman. I grew up across the street from the family and spent countless hrs there. I remember the times she took us to the outdoor movie theater in the convertible (Cindy and I)and also sneaking popcicles from the freezer on the porch. That was my second home there. Your mother was very special and amazing. Though I had not seen her for many years as she moved away, I remember her and all of the family with a very fond heart. I am so sorry for your loss.
