Matt you know how I felt about your mom. I'm so glad that we stayed in contact after we both retired.
She always thanked me for calling her & she had nothing but GOOD to say about her much
loved family. We talked a lot about our grandchildren. I will miss our talks and I'm really sorry for
your family's loss but I believe she is in a good place with NO more pain. God Bless you and
your family.Cathy Struglia, Kansas City, Missouri
