Hi Todd and Michelle, I was so sorry to hear of the death of Todd's mother. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
She was a lovely lady and so helpful when we were lucky enough to buy her house on Dale Road. Remember fondly her little sticky notes on the light switches as they worked more than one light!! Sorry for your loss and take care. Lorna and Dave Guest.
Todd, So sorry to hear about your mom. She was a great woman! I will never forget sitting in your parents kitchen eating your mom's famous peanut cookies. My condolence to you and your family.
