Dear Bob and Betsy,
I have many fond memories of your mom. She was a kind, inviting person and always made me feel comfortable when I visited your home. She even tolerated all the music/ noise from the band pretty well. She will certainly live on in our memories. My and family and I wish you our deepest condolences. We'll keep you all in our prayers.

Condolences to you and your family. I remember Vince and Diane fondly. Growing up I was at your home or they were at mine. Your father was a Phi Delta Phi fraternity brother with my father, Nathan Newman. Your mom, Diane, and my mom, Dottie were also very close when both of their husbands were starting their respective practices in the '50's.
I lost my mom 7 years ago and dad 12. I know how you feel, they will always be with and you will miss them often. The hole now in your hearts WILL get smaller with time, but will never go away. You will carry your memories there.
All the best to your family from the Newman's.
