David, I  was just told of your Mom's passing. I was sad to hear about it. She was a great person. My dad and mom always enjoyed her company. Hope everything is well with you and your family. We wanted to send to a charity but didn't know which one or anyone's address. Can you contact me? I just wrote in my e-mail on the memorial site. Karen Brown Manning

Dave, I am sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I remember her fondly.  She was fierce and direct, a true mother bear and a survivor.  I recall many frank conversations and lots of great advice she gave me (& you!).  I'm sure you miss her deeply.  I hope you and the family are doing well.  Take care.  AJ
