Dear Becky and Family - I was so sorry to hear the news about your Mom. I have many wonderful memories of her as she was one of my two "adopted" Moms when we were young and in high school. I am so glad I was able to visit with her at your house last July. You are all in my thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Love, Angela
