My thoughts and fond memories of your mom are here for each of you in very different ways. Norm, the guy that ushered me home from being out to late to my waiting mom! Kathy, the gal with the messy side of the room and the very pretty clothes, Bruce, yes a young guy who could pass as for a guy named "Donnie", Tracy, that little girl with the dark hair complete with hair clip that I met the day your mom brought you home from the hospital and last and most certainly not least, the best friend anyone could wish for, Deb, my heart is with you today as yours has always been there for me....I love you so much and will always be there for you....and then of course.......your mom what a girl! She was a pistol that welcomed me into your home from my tender age of 13 and shed new light on fashion and the future........she was a take charge lady who everyone on the street came to know, like and enjoy........let's celebrate her life and her legacy!
