Kenny, Sally, Kerry and the rest of your family. We were very sad to hear your mom passed. I'm sorry we could not be at the service but we were out of the town for the holidays and just returned home yesterday and read the news in the paper. You have our prayers and deepest sympathy at this difficult time.
