Lori and family,
I was sad to see notice of your mom´s passing today. I always enjoyed running into her as she was involved in probably her favorite activity-shopping! I know I hadn´t seen her for a long time, but I have thought of her. Peaceful rest to your mom (Grandma) and many happy shared memories with your family.
