I am so very sorry that I didn’t know sooner. I got a card in the mail from Laura tonight at about 11 pm and started searching on the computer because it was too late to call her tonight. Our youngest, Connor, was in a head on collision a few hours ago in Murfreesboro. So, I started searching on the computer after I learned Connor was O.K. I am thinking of you all and my love and prayers to everyone, especially Uncle Larry. Yesterday was the day mom passed 21 years ago. I just said on my facebook entry yesterday, that our mothers are the heart of every family and can never be replaced. You also can’t be married for many years and not miss your wife (or husband) with every beat of your heart. We all know who was there to greet her above. Love you..
