    We are so very sorry for the loss of your mom. She certainly was a great mom, and has left her legacy with your family. Donnie, we think the world of you, and Rosi. You obviously share your mom’s great attributes of always taking care of others with our mom, and Chuck. We wish we had known your mom, as she was as wonderful as you.
