Dear Paul, Mike and Liz: Sorry to hear about your mom. She was a wonderful lady and I have so many memories of her -- one I remember most is her driving us to school a few times after we had to drop your dad off at Gridley--she was so nervous because she really didn't drive and it seemed to take us twice as long to get to St Pete's then it did when your dad drove! I drive by the house on 32nd when I visit my parents---really good memories!
