Jim, Gary, and Steve,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. She was a great lady. I loved and admired her so much. I always loved going to your house when we were kids and your mom was a big part of why I loved it. I am sure she is looking down on all of us now and smiling. Take care.
Love,
Cousin Judy
