Rusty and family, Your mom was a sweet woman and will be missed greatly. I was just talking to her about 3 weeks ago at the track meet and she was telling me how she remembered seeing me carrying Becki when she was a baby in to morning program and then there we were watching her at the track meet.
It was always a pleasure talking to her. I will always think about her as she and I share the same birthday. Our prayers go out to you and your family. Pam Lauridsen
