Owen and Pip, I have nothing but wonderful memories growing up next to your home on Custer St. Mabel always treated me like gold. I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother, but find comfort in knowing that she is reunited with your father in a much better place. God bless your family at this difficult time.
