Joanne, so sorry to hear the news. You had many good years with your father and will have many more years with your wonderful mother. Sorry I couldn't make it to the services. I am taking care of my 100 yr old mother and all my "babysitters" were unavailable. Looking forward to seeing you at the wedding.
