Mom, I am so grateful that I was so very lucky to have a mother as loving, caring, compassionate, enduring and strict :-) and you were. Your guidance, patience and unconditional love was so instrumental in influencing the man I turned out to be. Your absence as left a huge void in my life and my heart, but I do take comfort knowing that you are with your family and probably playing the greatest game of 42 ever! Thank you for always being there for me and my family, and I can only hope that I can always make you proud. I love you! Dale
