Diana Glover Lois, Susan and families,
I am very sorry to hear that your Mom passed away so soon after your dad. I had many pleasant visits with them at Shannon Oaks a couple of years ago while I was there on business with Beacon. What delightful people they were. The world is a better place because their sunshine was shared with so many.
My thoughts are with you.
