Sorry for your loss. Dad is still alive but we had to place him in a nursing home, he is 94 and has dementia. Debbie keeps me up to date on what is happening in Loami, along with Naomi. Marge's loss at this time of year is more difficult, but she is in a better place and probably visiting with Mom.

Cheryl, its Melissa. I am so sorry to hear of your mom. Your mom was always so good to us kids when we were little. I will have you and Jack in my thoughts and prayers. Your mom will really be missed. And the reason we didnt come out this halloween is because Nicole has decided she too old to trick or treat.
