We wish that we had been able to come and see Ma and the family more often. Mike health hasn’t been good enough to travel, that many hours. We are with you all in spirit. Mikey is on his way to youns now.I remember the first time we came down and met everyone. Mom made us feel so welcome. She opened her arms,her heart and her home to us. It was opening day of deer season, and Ma told us that the family was all coming over for a welcome home Mike Party! So a LOT of the family showed up in “ORANGE” and with really big rifles. 😉 WELCOME HOME MIKE LOL!!! I felt so close to Ma, because we both loved to cook, she was going to give me some family recipe’s, which it seemed we never got around to writing down. She kept laughing at me cause, I LOVED her Cast Iron collection on the wall. She would say open that cupboard, then the next 1,and I was in AWE at all the cast iron she’s collected through the years! We will miss you always Ma, And love you forever! R.I.P.
