Kevin, Donna and family, sorry to hear about your Mom. I have so many fond and funny memories of our parents getting together years ago. They snow mobiled together, played aggravation and of course enjoyed all the good cooking your mom did. I know how hard it is to lose your Mom, they are always the "glue" that holds the family together.
Will keep your family in our prayers.
Bob and Cathy (Ulrich)Henschel
