Donna and Steve,
We are so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was the best. She was so much fun to be around and made everyone feel at home when we were visiting from Texas during the holidays. Thinking of you always, take care-Jeff

Donna, Rob, Teri & Lorie, so sorry to hear that your mother passed away. Living next door on Alfred Drive all those years, I got to become friends with mom. So many years have passed but I have thought of her and wondered how she was and if she still lived there. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
