Condolences on the loss of your dear mother and grandmother. I have fond memories of when I was new as secretary at Bethesda Lutheran Church and Judy helped teach me how to use the copier at Bethesda Lutheran School. Veronica was a wee tyke and rolling in her walker in the school front hall. My prayers are with you.
