We want to send our condolences to the family, especially Ron. I had the pleasure of meeting him after The Lennon Sisters show. We are the family that just lost our 95 year old Mom. What a special time when the Lennons sang "I Remember Momma" for their Mom, our Mom and for your Mom. So glad she was able to see them. They are such special people and special friends. May God give you all peace and beautiful memories of your Mom.
