Pete and Family, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mom was one of the pivotal people in Amanda and Jason's (teen and beyond) years. She's with Dutch now, and that whole crew is having a grand time swapping their tales. I'll think of Eunice every time I see a hydrangea. May you all find solace in your memories.

Pete, Syd & Donna, please accept my condolences on the passing of your mother. She was a great lady. I lost my mom a year and a half ago and I know what you are going through. Moms leave a great hole in our lives when they leave us that can never be filled.

Pete and Family, I am very sorry to hear about Eunice's passing. I have so many fond memories of spending time with her and the rest of the OTL crew literally starting at 3 years old through my College years. I'll always remember her as a lovely and extremely hard working lady. Hang in there.
