I offer my deepest condolences. There was a time during my childhood that I spent quite a bit of time at this wonderful woman's home hanging out and playing with her kids. Have not seen them in many years but those experiences left a positive impact on my life. I always felt welcome there. Family please feel free to look me up. Novel Thompson
