Dawn and Chad: I was so shocked to see this today. Your mom (and your dad) were great people. I am so glad I got to meet and know them so well, and you kids also. After you’re mom moved to KC from Arizona we met a few tiles and had great long afternoon visits at Longhorn Steakhouse and comixerstef several Montana Miles. We nearly cleaned up the world in those sessions. It took a lot out of both of us but we made the world a better place for our kids and out grandkids. Mind you, we were very happy to do it but also felt it was our duty as mothers. I’m gonna remember those work sessions for the rest of my life. Loved your mamma!
I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to you at the passing of your loved one.
