So very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Aunt Dolly I will always remember sitting on the front porch reminiscing about the grandkids. You and uncle Dick are together again.

So sorry to hear about your mother, Dolly. My mother, Yvonne Seibel Maurer, was a friend of hers since high school. Have many memories growing up of their "card club" gatherings, meeting for lunch, etc.
In deepest sympathy,
