Mike,
Spoke with Robbie the other day and she informed me of your Mother's passing. So sorry for your loss! I didn't know your mother but she raised a fine son so she must have been very special. You, Loretta and family are in my prayers through these diffcult days. Asking God to bring strength and peace and for you all to receive comfort in your precious memories.

I just heard today about Elmira passing. A beautiful and very spunky lady was her character. I worked with her at DOTD and she was always an inspiration to me with her vim and vigor and her energy. I convey my deepest sympathy for your loss and pray God's comfort for you.
