Bob, Tom, and Maggie, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was a fantastic person and always brought humor to the conversation. I really enjoyed our visits at my dad's on Friday nights. She was so proud of all of you and your families. Keep all the memories you shared with her in your heart and may they help bring peace to you.

Tom, and Robert, my condolences for your loss. At your mother's age, she got to see you both grow up into full manhood and was proud. You continue to do so by keeping her memory alive by your lives. God bless you both.
