I remember with a smile the many "card games" we (Delores, my mother, Dorothy Scheckler) played at my kitchen table back in the 1970's when my sons were very small. Oh how many great memories that brings back. She was such a neat lady I could never forget. I am sure she has her wings now, and is bringing joy to heaven since she arrived.
