I´m so sorry about the death of your mom. I knew her in our `younger´ years and your family on Jackson Street in Weedsport. I lived around the corner on Centennial St. With my age now, I remember your already deceased uncle and aunts. Your mom was already smiling, but remember her hearty laugh. I hope she always had that. My thoughts are with you and your entire family.
