Harry, my sincere condolences at the loss of your Mother; I remember what a beautiful woman she was. You were very fortunate to have her share your life for so many years; my Mother died when I was just 23 and there were so many times in my life that I wished I could talk with her.
Let's be thankful for our wonderful childhood memories with our families and friends in (as my Dad used to say) "good ole' St. Clair."
