David and Lisa- I was so sad to learn about the passing of your mother. She was such a wonderful, kind woman and such a tremendous asset to our family as our mother aged. We will forever be grateful to her. I have several tatted Christmas ornaments that your mom gave my mother, and I think of her every year when I put them on the tree. I cherish them and always will. Your mom was so proud of you two and spoke of you often. Again, my sincere sympathy, and I will be thinking of you in the days ahead.
