So sorry to read about the loss of your mom. When I read the obituary about celebrating her life it took me back 25-30 years ago. No other mom would go grocery shopping at ten oclok at night (remember back then the stores were only open til eleven!) and no other mom would let us sleep in our clothes overnight or build ice slides and tents on the front porch. I will always remember your mom as being a loving caring person who treated me like her third daughter. Thanks for all the fun and loving memories that I will cherish forever. Yo Yo Anne (remember that?) e-mail me if you would like. I would like to hear how it is being a mom of a teenager,I'm still into teething rings and potty training. Love Laura
