To Jane and Char, We are all sad to hear of your Mom's passing. I have fond memories of your mother...always a little smile on her face and always something lighthearted to talk about whenever I would see her, back when I was in the Campbellsport area yet. And of course, her 2 shining stars.....her 2 wonderful daughters that she loved so much! She's happily in heaven now with Ray and others. Who knows. they might even be square dancing!
