December 26, 2018 at 2:23 pmMy sympathy to all of you. I think the last time I came in contact with your mother was probably when my brother, Bill and your sister, Colleen were involved in Auglaize Industries. I have many fond memories from those days and also from when you lived in our neighborhood. Savor those memories.
