Terry, I'd like to express my sympathy for your mother's passing. I know it is difficult. Though we never stayed close, I did have her in my mind from time to time. There are only 3 of us children left of the 14 my Mom had and I know your sorrow at this time. Please express my sympathy to your whole family. Hazel
