So sorry to hear of the passing of one of my favorite LRV "Moms". Growing up in the Village, our address was 104 Roosevelt Drive and the Warmsleys was 110. I spent many Saturday mornings watching all the Cowboy shows at the Warmsley's home. Beautiful Memories.
May the good Lord be with the family at such a time as this.
