Tom & family.

I don't exaggerate at all when I say this. You had a very sweet mom. I never knew her to be anything but a polite, up-beat person. I call several of my friend's parents by their first names, but even though I knew your mom, had been to her house several times and she had been to mine, I couldn't bring myself to call her anything other than "Mrs. Korte."

You and your family are in our prayers.

Alice was a lovely lady who I had the pleasure of working with at the IRS. She was always willing to help and was very conscientious about her work. My condolences to her family.
