I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I worked with her at Spark Plug. She was such anice, sweet, person. She loved to tell me stories about your dad. Like taking her golfing, so she could get the balls for him. Or when she would give the dog a good aspirin but only gave your Dad a cheaper one. I couldn't wait to hear the 'Pat" stories. She will be missed very dearly.
