Joe, Maggie and John, Paul and I were saddened to hear about the passing of your sweet Mom. We remember her so well and your Dad too, all those years ago at Castle Oak (now CAC) when your family was active there. It seems like yesterday. Your mom was such a classy lady and always had a smile on her face. You will all be in our prayers.
