Tammy, Gina and Lori, I am so saddened to hear of the passing of a dear person. Your mom and I had many long conversations in our ride to work together. Those memories will be with me forever. Your mom was a very hard worker and a devoted wife and mother. She loved you all with everything in her. May she rest peacefully in the arms of our dear Savior. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
