To all of you, I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. I will always remember her great smile and she was a very pretty lady. She always seemed to be smiling. I couldn't believe it when I heard this. You all stay strong and take care of old albert. He's a pistol himself. None of us really know what Life holds for any of us, so remember to make the most of it. I will keep you all in my prayers for comfort and to heal. Your friend. Danette
