Mary Beth, I was sad to see that your mother passed away recently. Your parents and mine were very good friends, and now they are all reunited in Heaaven. I have fond memories of visiting with your mother when you took twirling classes from me. I lost my mother 2 years ago and I still miss her, as you will surely miss yours.
