Peggy, Linda, and Steve-I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was such a sweet lady and know she will be greatly missed. I wish that I could have attended the services but due to my back problems I was unable to travel. As you probably know we are still trying to deal with the recent loss of our son but they say time will heal. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
