Brenda. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. you may not remember me, I was visiting Eileen and Bill when Bill's health was failing. I was with my mom and dad and sadly my dad ( Bob Keating) passed away last April 2013. The five of us, you, me, your mom and my folks sat around the table just talking and I enjoyed the time very much. Again please accept my deepest condolences. [email protected]
