Scott, My deepest condolences: My folks sent a note on your mother's passing. I thought I'd share this with you. My memories of your mom, outside of that little room off the garage FILLED with horse show ribbons (she never would talk about them, darn it!) was her wonderful flower garden. It was she who taught me to dead-head a geranium, and to this day I still think of her every time I plant my pansies in early spring, and my "X's and O's" petunias later on. Darn it, my flowers never look as good as her's.

Best wishes to you and your family.
