    Bryon–
    I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. It’s never easy to lose a mother but it is especially difficult to lose one when she is so young. You are in my thoughts!
    Tami.

    I have been in Winter Springs, Fl, for 10 years and didn’t know you both were so close, wish I could have seen you both after all these years. Nancy was so good to me and helped so much when my father was sick and Kevin was a baby. I have so many good memories of you both and your parents. I will try to get int touch with you, Gail, when you return to Florida. So sorry for loss of such a great wife and mother to your children, God keep you safe and comfort you at this time.
