You probably don´t know me but my husband went to Va Tech with your Dad. We were good friends and Lynn and my daughter Debbie were born near the same time. When I did not receive a Christmas card the first of December I felt something was wrong. My daughter Debbie found your Mom´s obit on google for me last night. My condolences go out to you. YourMom was a great friend and a wonderful person. We lived beside one another when we were both first married. My husband died 10 years ago and your Mom and I were almost the same age. My birthday in December. My love to both.
