Dear Eileen & Maryann, I am sorry to here of your Mom's passing. I had a chance to talk to her in July to let her know that my mom had passed away on July 3rd. She sounded great at that time and just hearing her voice brought back a lot of memmories..especially Christmas at your house when we where kids....and those yummy cookies. She will always have a special place in my heart. She's with my mom and they're having a great reunion!
