We are so sorry for your loss Joe. We loved her so much and in fact Jodie and I were speaking of her just yesterday and how Jodie loved to go to your house after school just so she could see her eggs and talk to her. We still have the poem she wrote for Bruce. She was a very special lady in our lives. RIP sweet lady. We will miss you.
