Girls thinking about you wish I could have come by. Teresa, I was thiking about your mom and her laugh, I can still see her at your grandma’s house one day and she got to laughing about something and we didn’t know what about but she made us laugh too. Do you remember one night you and your mom went to a sectional game at Martinsville (we weren’t but maybe 8) and the bad snow and roads on our way home and we had to stop while my dad got out and put chains on the tires. Would love to see you. Always remember the good times when you think of your mom and you sisters be close with each other. Love Sheila Gray
Brenda, Sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. John Lucich
