So sorry to learn of your mom's passing. I have wonderful memories of my parents (Ted & Elsie ) bring me to your home on Taft Rd to visit. Your mom always greeted us with her big beautiful smile and open arms. She was so very sweet to me, I loved coming to your home. Even as a child, I could see she loved your Dad, Bob, and was completely devoted to him. She loved being a mother and each one of you were so special to her. Hang on to all your memories of her, they're so very precious.
