Steve, Jim and David, I'm so sorry about your Mom. I just learned of her death as I was out of town when the obituary was published. So many fond memories, good food, glad I have the painting she did for Bill and I treasure the Ohio cupboard which she and your uncle helped Bill refinish (it was Bill's grandmother's). Each of you were wonderful sons and she treasured each of you. My sympathies to each of you and your families.

Steve, Jim and David,
We were so sorry to hear of your mother's death. She was a neat lady and neighbor. We remember watching her play catch and warm up you boys for baseball games. Also, we enjoyed visiting about her painting. She was a gifted artist. Hope you all have some of her paintings.
We are in Alabama on our winter vacation and just learned of her death.
Please accept our sincere sympathy.

Steve, Jim and Dave: I am sorry to hear about your mom. I will always remember the baseball games we used to have in your backyard when we were growing up. A lot of times, Dee would come out and play with us, and she was as good as any of us. My condolences to your families.
