Greg, Joan & Family:
I was so sorry to hear of your Mother's Loss. I was just thinking about her a few weeks ago. I remember the good times our parents had together and the "sense of humor" your mother and dad had. Seems like yesterday, but so many years ago. She will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Donna (Keeley) Thore
