David & Tom,
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.She was a great lady of great faith and I know you two made her very very proud.
You are so fortunate to have had her for so long and although it has been a long time since Noble Ave I am certain that her later days with your growing families and those many grand kids were the best years of her life.
Thanks for sharing her with us and please know my thoughts go back to those times long ago of St.Pauls and BHS...
