I can still remember the ice truck delivering ice for our ice box once or...

Doug, I am sorry you must be separated for a time from your mother's physical presence. Of course you will always have her presence in your heart. I see in your mother's picture your resemblance to your mom. God bless you and your family! Greg Voss
