To Vickie & Irene: I am so very sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences to all of you. Your mom was such a delight. I've known her for many years. She bowled with my aunt and cousins, ate at my families restaurant, The Anchor and I bowled with her as well and served with her on the Humboldt Women's Bowling Association Board. She was always upbeat, had a great smile and could be a real "kick in the pants". She left all of you with great and wonderful memories and lessons to hold dear and cherish during this very difficult time. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
