Deb and Denise...I was crushed to learn this. While I hadn't seen her in quite a long while, we had been in touch via internet for the last several years. I offer my biggest, sincerest condolences.

Debbie: my condolences for your mom. I had to move away and really missed seeing her and Rusty every day. She was such a delight to talk to on the morning walk. She was always so cheerful and positive. God bless all of you and your families. Vicki
