To Cliff and Tom I was so sad to hear the news today of your Mother Patricia. During our time together, we would often devote time speaking of family and specifically to our Moms. During Cliff's and my visit back to the Peg, we made sure time was spent with these extraordinary ladies. I miss my Mom, Estelle, every day and certain your hearts feel empty as well. I will say to you my friends, lets be thankful for all the guidance, happiness and success our beautiful Mothers provided. My daughters Janelle, Tamara and I extend our prayers and very best wishes.
