Kathy & Gary, Your mom was a wonderful person who always found the positive in someone. You were so lucky to have wonderful parents who cared so much for all of you. Your mom & dad always treated us as part of the family. Your mom even came to my parents funerals just a few years ago. We were blessed to have them with us for so long. My sympathy to the entire family.
