Susan, Our family is so saddened at the death of your Mom. She was so great and my memories of her are only happy ones. I can hear her laugh today as clearly as if we were all together at a "family" gathering. Know that you, Dan, your Dad, and all your family are in our thoughts and prayers. From all the Van Leunen family.
