  1. Mike-I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was a fine lady. We were friends from Kindergarten and graduated together in 1960. She was one of my best friends and we kept in touch. I just talked with her at Christmas. I will miss our talks and I will miss her dearly. She was like a sister to me. God bless you and your family.
