I just noticed Brett that your mom passed away and I am so sorry and offer my condolences to you and your family. My mom too passed away in 2021 and I miss her very much. Our moms very very special to us and we should always keep them close at heart. I remember the times we spent together chatting at Paly or Alta vista. Take care my friend. - Posted by: Chris (friend to Brett) on: Feb 18, 2023
