George and I were so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. I am sorry I missed it in October. I especially enjoyed visiting with your Mother and she worked with my sister-in-law from Gillespie at the SOS for a long time. I was their go between keeping them up on what was going on in their families. Her name is Maxine Bomkamp. We enjoyed the time we lived next door and playing horseshoes with Charlie. God Bless You All.
