Dear Nikki, I'm so sorry about your Mom. I will miss her smile & little giggle - she could always make me laugh. Even in high school when I passed her in the hallway, she'd always do or say something to make me smile. I'm sure she's still smiling down on us along with Lyn & Betty. I miss them and they are in my thoughts always
