"Mom" was so special to so many of us over the years! I can still hear her great laugh-she was with it befor we knew what with it was! Sharp to the end after 100 years in the rear view mirror. Her legacy will live on in her (vast) family of beautiful acomplished sons,daughters and their sons and daughters.
What a great gift to the world!
