Hello Brigham and Steve, I’m so very sorry to hear about your mother. I remember coming to your house and being in awe of her physical beauty and grace as well as her warm and welcoming personality. I don’t know how current that picture is, but it appears she was as beautiful when she died as she was when we were kids. When all is said and done, I’d love to hear from you. I’m passing this on to Niqui (yup, we’re still best buddies!) melanie
