Maryann we are so sorry to hear about Momma. I loved her so much. She was like a Mother to me. Since I grew up with David, so many years ago, I have never forgotten her and tried to stay in touch all these many years. When David and I got out of school, many times I would stay for Dinner. Your Momma was one of the best cooks and she would straighten me out if needed. I will miss her dearly. I Loved her very much. God Bless you and your Family Sincerely Gregory Collins & Norman Kleynen.
