Dear Brian and Bruce,
I was so saddened to read of the passing of your dear mother. I always tried to visit her on my trips back to Spfld. At Concordia and on Warson Rd. I love the photo you chose as that's how I remember her, beautiful, a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was an amazing artist and a great golfer. We shared many fun times together. Her biggest joy in life was her family. Wishing you peace and comfort during this most difficult time.
