Terry and Rick,
I am so very sorry to learn of the passing of your Mother. She was such a great lady. Although I have been gone from the valley for over 30 years, I still think of her often and all the great times we had at the City of Wheeling. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. You have my sincere condolences.
