Sorry to here about the loss of your mother from all of us on the east coast. Carol, Ray, Mabel,& Joyce.
I was thirteen when Steve introduced me to his mother Lucille. After seeing her with her two daughters and with Steve, she set the standard for what all mothers should be for the rest of my life. She’s sweetest lady I’ve ever known.
