I wish to offer my condolences for the passing of your Mother. I joined the Church when I was 14 in 1962 and met your Mom, and Cindy and Liz. Those were formative years in my life and I appreciate the positive impact both you and your Mom had on my early years. I now live in Danville and would love to here from you.
