   Your Mom and I had not kept in touch over the past few years and I am so vey sad to hear now of her death from cancer. A flood of memories has come back of such good times and the many laughs we had working together at the Board Office. She was a wonderful woman with great strength and determination and she loved her family beyond anything else. My thoughts are with you all. I wish that I could be there on Friday.

    Sherri and Lynne – so sorry to hear about your Mom. What a great lady she was. It doesn’t really seem that long ago that I would be over there during the week babysitting you two while your Mom went out to bingo. Later on, when I started at the Board office, it was so great to see her each day. She always had a great outlook on life, and was a joy to be around. She will be dearly missed. Take care during this difficult time.
