"Pop", Wally, Sid and Family,
My heart goes out to you. You are all truly good friends to Chuck and I so we are here if you need us. "Mom" will be missed by anyone that ever knew her and your lives will be forever changed with the loss of a mother.

This is a saying that "Mom" gave me on a card when my Mother passed (I keep it on my desk) and I thought I might share it with you.

"When love has touched our lives, it remains forever in our hearts."

With deepest sympathy
