Shay,
I was unable to make the services yesterday due to doctors appointments I had previously scheduled but I anted to extend my deepest condolences to you and your family. I´m sure you know the impact your mother had on so many young people. I have memories of Lil making Dekemper laugh in the locker room to being the voice of reason ( as Huppenthal would yell, lol) for our very own Fab Five. Her memory will live on in many of us. She was always so very proud of you. Prayers to you and your family.
