So sorry to read about your Mom. She was a great woman. I have such fond memories of her and the family. I would come but I have a CT Scan scheduled for Wednesday morning in Storm Lake Hospital. Please get in touch. My email is dhaus@ncn.net. Please take comfort knowing your Mom and Dad are together now. I can hear her giggling. All our love, Sharon and Danny.
