I was saddened to read of your mother's passing. Although it's been many years, I have fond memories as a teenager participating in get-togethers with your family. Your mother was always gracious and never hesitated to set an extra place at the table for me. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

When Joyce and I set up our respective parents little did we realize that it would last all these years. I know my dad will miss Jean's companionship and I will miss her also as a part of the Mattison family! My love to Jean's family!
