Joe, Tom was visiting me this morning and told me about your mom passing away. I was so very sorry to hear about that. Lots of good memories of being with you and your wonderful parents. Those were fun times we all had together. Wish I could have gone to the church with Tom and Karen but it is very hard for me at age 90 to get around. You and your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless -Mrs. Virginia Rogers

So sorry to hear about your mom and grandma. She will be missed. I've thought about her almost daily since Thanksgiving. We've missed her so much at the beauty shop. I hope you all find peace.
