Vickie, I just saw in the paper that your mom passed away. I am so sorry you lost your mom . It made me remember all the good times we had growing up and all the time I spent at your home. I remember feeling very close to your mom! Of course as time went on, we grew apart but I have never forgotten you or your family! I know you have plenty of people that love you helping you through this! Please remember that if you ever need me I am not that far away. My thoughts are with you, Herbie and the rest of the family! Take care! Love you! Patti
