Bob and Tom,
I'll always remember the good times that our parents had in Warsaw and Auburn.... including being snowed-in one New Years day in Auburn and having Mass (by your dad) at our home because we couln't get to Church. Your mom was a great woman, a great friend of my mom, and she will be missed.
