Tributes
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. I loved her and your Aunt (was it Betty) I used to see them all the time when I worked in Lincoln and the two would never fail to hug my neck and then they'd tell me what they had been doing. I loved it! I always enjoyed visiting with your Mother. She loved books just Iike I do. It's been a long time since I've seen her but I can't say enough good about her. With love to you Cheryl....
