Tom. So sorry to read of your Mother's passing. Such great memories of her kindness and her sweet sense of humor. Always enjoyed my visits to her house on the river. She was proud of you as a champion swimmer and student-athlete. I'm sure she'll be welcomed warmly by your Dad in heaven. Barb and I send our love, sympathies, and prayers to you and your family. (Bill and Barb Murtagh, Naples, Florida)
