You were family when I needed you. It took a few moms to manage me. You were the kind, gentle, sweet natured mom.

I am so sorry to hear of Candy's passing. I knew her in High School, primarily from German Club. Tim, I always appreciated when you and Candy lived across from my parents and you looked in on them from time to time. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. My elderly mother sends her condolences as well. She was the one who saw the obituary, as I now live in Ishpeming.
