Tom, so sorry to read of the loss of your mother. We are in Florida and will not be able to attend but our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Your mom and dad were someone special in my life and being friends with my parents was an honor to know them and be able to be around them and enjoy the laughter they brought into everyone's lives.
