Scott, Michael, Jon, and Rick, so, so sorry to hear of your dear Mom's passing . . I worked with your Dad at IBM (Apollo 5 Instrument Unit) and we lived near each other too before they bought the house on Drake when you were a baby Rick. Wonderful memories of visits when you were little - your folks were just amazing and so, so proud of each of you. My heart and love are with you and yours. Especially Praising The Lord for your precious Mom!!!
