Larry and Jim,

I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was such a sweet lady. My first knowing her was when she was my substitute teacher in 5th grade. She used to read the Laura Ingalls Wilde books to us, Little House on the Prairie which I just loved. I also remember her bringing you both to school a couple of times because you were in a different school district and we really enjoyed that. I know you will miss her and know that she has moved on to a greater reward. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
