To Sandy and Suzanne and families, we are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was just the sweetest and kindness person I know. Along with your dad, they were wonderful neighbors and friends to my parents. Danny and I speak of your precious parents often. They are well remembered in our household.
