AS December 14, 2020, 8:04 pm I was so sorry to hear the news of your Mom's passing. I worked with her many years ago and so enjoyed her company. I'd run into your folks in Vinton from time to time, so we'd meet for coffee and conversation and that always included a lot of laughs. I'm so sorry for your loss. You will miss her terribly, I know.
