Dear Phil, Anne and Steve, My condolences on your mother’s passing. I remember a petite lady with a pretty smile, and a southern drawl, that made me smile. Her passing also brought to mind, many fond memories of our teenage years. The dinner at First Place West, sharing a ski lift with her at Porkie Pine Mountain, and the countless times your home was open to all of us kids. While our folks may have driven us batty at times, we gave them plenty of reasons. My love to you and thanks for the good times.
