Rick, Bob and families:
During the 1990&&single&&s, Mary and I worked together at Community Living-South Huron. We became good friends and shared many conversations and laughs over several cups of coffee. Jacob and Jared, Oma with a big smile on her face would tell me when you were by for visits. Both of you are very special people to Oma. During the days and weeks ahead maybe the memories will soften the pain.
