I was so sorry sorry to hear of your loss. I have such fond memories of your Mom - most recently when my Mom spent time in Broadlawn last year. When my daughter was small, I remember driving my Mom over to your parents house to visit. And what about all those years that the OLL Bowling gang went on vacation, the last week in June, to various resort locations, all within driving distance, of course. I am sure that they had lots of good times and good memories. I know that your Mom also suffered hard times over the years, but she always had faith in God. May she rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
