Beth and Judy, I am so sorry that I wasn't at the funeral. We were on vacation and just the other day, my mother mentioned that she read of her passing in the paper. Again, I would have been there had I known sooner. If there is anything that I can do, please get in touch with me right away. We all share so much history, love and friendship, through the years, and that includes your mother! Beth I am so glad that we were able to visit with her awhile back at Sears when you both were shopping! My number is in the book should you need to get in touch. Love you all! Richard Caplinger.
