Dear Karen and family..Jim and I are thinking of you and our prayers are with you at the loss of your mother. She was a caring lady (I see where you get it from) and I remember many holidays where I was welcomed into her home to have family to spend a holiday with if I was not able to be with my own relatives. God bless her. May she rest in peace. All our love..Peg and Jim
