Steve, Rick & Jeff, Such great memories I have of your mom. Our families go way back to when I was a kid. Our parents were all close friends and had so much fun. Then, of course, Jeff you and our boys were such good buddies living in the old neighborhood. Many a pot of chili and hot chocolate at our house after sleddiing, etc. She had a good life, and was so proud of her boys. Love to you all, Claudette & Jack Gubrud

Jeff: Very sad to learn of your mom's passing. She was always a lot of fun whenever I would see her. I'll bet she and my mom can get together now for a few hands of bridge up there! Dan Hewitt
