Jane and Jay, We were saddened to hear of the loss of Verna. I have many fond memories of her and Buell and you guys going way back to the days when we all vacationed together at The Triple Links at Clear Lake. Many years have passed since those days. We will be thinking and praying for you both at this time of loss.
Jay and Erika, So sorry to hear about Jay’s Mom. Thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
Jane, Jay, Erika, & families, We want to offer our sympathy in the loss of your Mom. So many great memories of her and your Dad and my parents dancing, golfing, dining out. You are in our hearts and prayers.
Jay.. Erika.. So sorry to read about your Mom. Like my Mom she was of the “greatest generation” and I’m sure Jay, Erika your Moms told you “clean your plates” for a reason! I was explaining that phrase to my Granddaughter when she looked at me like I was crazy! But that was what your Moms and my Mom were brought up in.. a period of thankfulness for what they had! Your Mom is now part of the ethereal realm spreading her blessings to us all!
