    Shirley & Vernon, I log on to the Bloomington paper when we are in Florida to keep up with things and I was so sorry to read of your mother's death. I know the last few years have been hard on both her and you but now she is in a better place and not suffering. I know she left you many wonderful memories and those will get you through the rough times ahead.
