Steve,Sheryl and Scott,
So sorry for your loss! I have so many memories of your Mom from my childhood. I used to marvel that she was always on the go, never still. From cleaning the front porch, weeding the entire yard or doing the laundry in the spring house where the water from the washer ran down the concrete sluice. So many good memories of that time. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone. One of the nicest ladies I have ever known. I know she will be missed!
