Vanessa, Penny and Mr. Rice,
My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of grief. I have such fond memories of your mom from staying the nights at your house years ago, and being so jealous she let you have a purple room!! I would occasionally run into her and your dad the past few years and she always remembered me and had something nice to say! Please know I am thinking about you and all your family during this time.
