Maria, Val, Tom, Bob and families, Just wanted to send my sympathy to all of you after learning of your Mom's death. I remember her stopping in at the skating rink or being at a baseball game. She always spoke and was so nice. Think of her often as I pass your childhood home. My thoughts are with all of you during this difficult time.
