    I have so many wonderful memories of time with your beloved mother and my Aunt. Steeler training camp comes to mind, as does Sheetz Priza a paloossa, lunch at Dave's Dream and sitting on her back porch — talking and laughing !! She will be missed but I know she is looking down from heaven guiding us. My life was Blessed just knowing her. Hope
