Kathy & Tim,
Your mom was a sweetheart and I remember her fondly growing up. She had a laugh that was contagious and was so warm and welcoming . It's the end of an era and really brings everything into perspective. We had some great times on Grenell Drive growing up and I treasure those fond memories . My sincere sympathies and condolences to you and your families . She was one great lady and will be sorely missed.
