Sue, George and I and also my kids are very sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. We all have such fine memories of her and all the good times we had on Woodbine. I am unable to attend the services. Jeff is laid up with his back and I am babysitting his baby and unfortunately just read yesterday's paper today. We will keep you and your family in our prayers.
