Sure was sorry to learn of Moms' passing. God bless that little woman! If I close my eyes, I still see her, in her Scout uniform, helping us with our projects. I will always remember her and your Dad. He knew all of our names - and we'd lay in wait for him Saturdays. WE knew he had bubblegum in his bag!!! The all-time fave? Double Bubble, of course!! I thank them both, from the bottom of my heart, for all the fond memories.
