Debbie & Tina, I was really sad to learn of your mom's passing. I have such wonderful childhood memories hanging out on your front porch with the both of you, your Mom and your Grandma! I will forever be grateful for your family taking my brother & I under your wings when our family was dealing with a sudden loss of our own. It was truly an honor to have known your Mom and we all know that she will continue to watch over your entire family. I will always remember our great times at your house the summer of '78. I even enjoyed the times when your Mom and Grandma ran us off when we were misbehaving! Your family will remain in my daily prayers during this difficult time. God Bless. Rob
