Susan & Allen, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. I have lots of fond memories with both of your parents. Especially the trip to Florida that me and David flew to Florida in a small plane, right after he got his pilot license. We were young and dumb. Lol. Both sets of our parents flew commercially. It was a great vacation. I know She will always be watching over you from heaven bc she is always in your heart. ❤️. Debbie Moretto
