How could I forget you!! You were the bright spot in our day when we had to go there. Thank you for your kind thoughts. We are devastated by our loss but comfort each other. She was a very giving mother and an example for us to live by. These gifts are a comfort to us and her memory.
I hope you are well. I have often thought about you. I wish we lived closer. We would find fun together! Verne has been gone since 2006. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him. My comfort and oeace is knowing that mom is now with her son who she loved dearly.

Thank you for your sincere thoughts. I know you are experiencing your own loss and grief and can relate to ours. Mom thought the world of you and Jerry.
