    I am really sorry for the loss of your mom. I will always rememer the gatherings at Grandpa’s and @ your parents house. Did we ever figure out if there really was a bear in Grandpa’s basement? I still remember your mom saying “ANTHONY, GET OUT OF THE SODA BOTTLES” at Grandpa’s house. It was too funny. Sorry for your loss, I will always remember Aunt Dee.
