Janet, Jeanne, Jo, Karla, Richard, We were so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember so many fun times as a kid when we met for the Saturday night bridge group at each other's homes. Your house was a favorite! Your Mom was always herding us into the basement to play and then making sure that we had enough to eat. She even took part in the softball games in your backyard. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. My mother will miss her closest friend.
