I was so very sorry to read of the loss of your mom. She and your dad were great friends of my parents (Betty Jane and Red Wolf) and I remember many laughter filled visits with them. Your mom was a beautiful lady and your dad was a "character" who always had that mischievous sparkle in his eyes. They were SO much fun to be around. Your mom was always doing some craft or another and your dad even built my mom one of those big wooden houses without a front, to decorate with miniature furniture. They were two of my favorite people. I'm sure Charmaine was met at the gates by Jack, my parents and a whole slew of people who have loved and missed her. "The band is back together".
Bless you all during this difficult time and lean on each other.
