Maryanne and bud I am so sorry for your loss. My sister Judy just told me about your moms passing. I used to run into her in fulton years ago.

I wanted you to know I’m thinking of you and bud. How old is your son? I might have taught him in fulton when I subbed. Anyway sorry for your loss. Your mom was a sweet lady.
