Linda and Jim............We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved mom. Jim, you were a wonderful son and made your mom proud, she knew how much she was loved. We would have been there, however, we are in Florida at our litlle love nest in Englewood taking a little break after Denny's mom's passing 10/4. We hope you will still visit Kenosha so we can get together like the old days...Love and kisses, Donna and Denny
