Bev,

My heart goes out to you in the loss of your mother. After all the conversations we had about your mom, I feel like I knew her. I know you and your family will love her and miss her forever.

I am going to miss getting to visit with Marian as I pick up Levi at daycare! Oh how she loved to be outside...messing around in the flower garden and keeping things so beautiful outside your house! She sure had a way with flowers and I look forward to watching her flower garden grow this spring, knowing that it was planted and tended with her love.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you Jim and Jim Jr...as well as the rest of the family.
