Rick, Andy, and Roxiann, My thoughts are with all three of you, and your extended family, during this sad time of loss. Your mother was just the nicest lady, with a twinkly smile and lovely laugh. And what a wonderful photo of her you selected to share with all of us!! May she rest in peace... and may you be at peace. Love, DeLesta and Dan
