My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always have memories of going up to Fox Lake with my parents to go boating with your parents.Your mom and my mom always sat and talked, while our fathers tried to figure out why our boat wouldnt start. Those were the days.Take care , and God bless. Kelly Vaughn
