Debbie our deepest sympathy. My Mom and I were talking about your mom last night and she reminisced about going through school with your Mom, recalled what a handsome couple your Mom and Dad were, she also remembered where your Mom and Dad’s first apartment was and how they would frequently run into each other downtown, So ironic that our Mom’s knew each other and then we ended up being friends. Your Mom was such an awesome lady, always so sweet and kind. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Julia Kohler and Beth Kohler
