Mandy...Such sad news in my e-mail today. I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. She was a "staple" at "Rodfei," not to mention one of the best moms on Ogelsby. I'm sure that Lester, Marsha, and now your beloved Doris have had a wonderful reunion together. With much affection....Nonnie (Nonnie120@ aol.com)

Hi Mandy,
I am so sorry to hear about Mom.
It sure would be wonderful to be back on Phillips avenue, or at kiddie land with our Dads.
I miss Marsha lots.
