Sam, Pete, Tom and all, my condolences on the death of your dear, dear mother, mother-in-law, grandmother. If it would be appropriate I would love to be present for her celebration. Peace, Tuck Bowerfind, St. Luke’s Church, 703-346-9402
The part in the obituary about her smile making a lasting impression is so true. I can still hear her laugh these many years later. Kathy Montague Smeallie
