So very sorry to hear about your Mother's passing. I have only known her for a short time, I have been doing her hair every Saturday for the past 3 years and really got to know Olive. I sure will miss her. She was always full of life and made me laugh many many times!She had such a "young" spirit about her. She always talked about her family and her years in Arizona with her Husband, I hope you get comfort knowing she lived a long and full life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. Eileen Czerwinski

Judy - you've had a rough couple of years and it was sad to hear that your mom passed. Losing a parent is so very hard at any age. I still miss my mom so very much. A hug from our hearts, John & Nikki (Figari)

Judee and Randy: It saddened me deeply to hear of your Mother's passing. As you know, she was a wonderful, wonderful person. But just think - I sure hope there is a "Moose Lodge" in heaven so that your parents and my parents can all go dancing together once again! Please accept my deepest sympathy.
