Hi Kay,John,and Tom, Sorry to hear about your Mom. I checked the paper every day when I'm back in WI, wondering about your Mom. I am sorry for your loss, she was always such a gracious lady. I remember the sheepshead games our parents played. I don't know if Fran Roddy is still living, but she outlasted them all. They all had fun, in a simple way. Again sorry for your loss.

How wonderful that you had her for so many years; although, I'm sure that right now the time seems much too short. Peace be with you all.
With love,
Judy and Michael Otto
