Jeff, I just found out about the passing of your mom. I am so sorry for your loss. Please keep all of your fond memories of her close to your heart. You may not remember me, but we went to grade school at Milan Center together and also road the bus together. Your mom and dad raised some really good kids and I know they were very proud of you guys. Take care. ([email protected]).

I was saddened to learn of your Mom's death, Amy. You were such a big part of her life, and I am sure your Mom was so grateful for the extra time you spent with her when she needed help the most. It was an effort to drive so often, but I am sure you are so happy now that you took so much of your time for her. You are in my thoughts.

Bonnie was such a sweet caring person. She called me not too long ago just to say hi & she hoped things were going well. I really needed to hear her words of encouragement as her call came when I needed it the most. (That's Bonnie!!!). She will be missed...

I have so many wonderful memories of Bonnie. I am so thankful my sons had so much time with their grandparents, and I'm grateful for how well loved they were by Bonnie and Ray. It will make them more loving men all their lives as they reflect on how it was modeled by them. Sincerest sympathies to all the Lehman family.
