Tom, Kenneth and Matthew. I worked with your mother in the 70's at the tunnel. I remember how much she loved her little boys. She was a wonderful person as I remember her fondly and see that she continued to live her life in a loving and giving way. I am sorry for your loss, but know your mother/wife was loved and appreciated by many.
