I met your mother at a bridge game and yes, she truly was a master. My condolences on your loss.
I'll bet she already has a game started!

Chris, I was so very sorry to hear of your loss. I know Kathryn has found Buck and is telling him how silly it is to watch cars go around in circles. Take care and keep in touch. Love,Donna
