Lynn and Sandy,

I am so sorry about your mother's passing and wanted to tell you that your mom was a very special and funny lady. I enjoyed hearing the stories of how she and your father met and danced the night away on the river boat. It was a very sweet and special story that I am glad they shared with me. Evelyn Trahan
