  • Kathy, Jake and Susan,
    So sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. I’m trying to think of time when I didn’t know your Mom - early years when we all road the bus together, Big V (good times!) and then when our kids sports teams played each other she was always there. She looked like the super Mom and Grandma!
