People live their lives not knowing what effect they have on others. Your Mom and your Dad had a huge effect on our family. They were such good holy people with a big beautiful family. My Dad always talked about your Dad coming home from his stagehand work to eat dinner with his family and then going back for another show in the evening. Your mom always had a big smile, she was so nice, warm and down to earth even though she was a famous Rockette. May they be reunited in Heaven after lives well lived and well loved. My sincere condolences. Terri Azelby Matsen
