Mike & Susie, I am so sorry to learn the news about your mom. We had so many good times as next-door neighbors. She kept an eye on Jeff & Dan at times; I so appreciate her care. She was an incredibly strong woman and I admired her greatly. I send my love as you grieve the loss of this wonderful woman. She made a difference.
