Steve, Frank and Families, I am so sad to hear about the loss of your mom. I have precious memories as a little girl coming to your house to music parties your parents would have. Your mom always had good desserts and treats for all of us. She was a very sweet lady, and I loved her smile. Hold close to your heart all of your precious memories you have with her. Love and Prayers, Shelley
