Dear Vic & Geri --It was with great sadness to hear of the death of your Mom. I have so many good memories of our childhood growing up together in Chalfant. Your Mom was a special lady, and I know she will be missed greatly. It will be four years in August since my Mom passed away, and I still think and miss her daily. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families at this time. Your Mom will forever be a part you, and her memory will be eternal.
