I met Mrs. Curling years ago when we needed vehicles for our LEGO trips to the state tournaments. She provided the fuel cards. She always took time to listen to our adventures and was so friendly. I looked forward to having a brief but meaningful chat. You would have thought the team members were her own grandchildren.

Amy - My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
