Kurt and Amy I'm so sorry I didn't make it to the funeral home to pay my respects. Our power went out this morning and who knows when it's coming back on. We didn't get to see much of your Mom. But when I did she always remembered me. I'm so sorry for your loss! Sending healing prayers to all! Love you!!
