Von, Mike, Pam, Mark
I was saddened to see that your wife/mother passed away. Being your old neighbor from the Stow days, I remember her so well. She was always so nice to me and always had a smile for me. I later visited Mark a number of times at Timberline as we played golf and hung out. I recently lost my Mother (September) and fully understand what you are going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers and would love to see you.
