"Shirley, Donald and family, Sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I'll remember her as a gal who kept 2 year old Steve in cookies and your Dad as a handsome smiling guy on his Indian motorcycle with his leather "Snoopy" cap. God bless them both. We'll be thinking of you and them. Mary and Jim Crowther"
