I extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. I know that Christmases will never be the same. I lost my mom 8 years ago December 11th and my father this past June 28th. We must hold on to our cherished memories, and they will always be with us.
I have some fond memories of growing up in "The Run." Your mom was very special.
Love to all,
Patsy (Lisak) Sarknas
