Hi Mary, George and all your children,
Judy Christ just told me about your Mom.I will always remember her for her wonderful sense of humor and you guidance throughout the years. I will also remember all the good and kindness she gave to me and many others when we were shocked, stunned and so sad when first learning about our children. My best to all of you,
