I am so sorry to learn about your mother\’s passing. What a lovely lady and what a wonderful family. I( remember your father finding my son, Brian, on the steps of Jefferson school one night after they turned the lights off and Jerry asked him to see what he could do.
I am sure that your mother was so proud of each of you and your children, plus all of the greats.
God Bless.
