We send our deepest sympathy on the death of your Mother. How amazing it must be to live 100 years! I'm Patty Wolf who lived in Armstrong many years ago. I remember your Dad, Clarence. I believe he was our school bus driver. I remember Gloria and was sorry to read she had passed away. She may have been a couple of years older than me. I remember you also, Carol. Our prayers are with you.
