Bruce & Theresa – I know this has been a tough year for all of us. Mom was such a wonderful other Mother to me. Her son was the love of my life for so many years. My prayers are with us all. We will miss her. I’m so glad she did come down to see Jay and meet her great grandchildren. We in NH love you both and we loved Mom.
