Sorry to learn of your mom's passing. My mom preceded her in January and my Dad in March, so I have an idea as to how you feel. - Ken Carver, Murrah '64

Sorry to learn of the passing of Jessie. She and I go a long way back in OES and I always enjoyed seeing her. I know Warren is glad to have her with him now.
