Sharon, Shelley, and Lesley I am so sorry to hear of your Moms passing. I was just thinking of her on election day as I do every year because she was working at that polling place when I voted there the first time more than 20 years ago. I always enjoyed visiting with your Mom and had so much fun with her when she worked at the school. Thoughts and prayers to you all and your families.
