Dei and Brown Family,
I remember your Mom and family from Parkview days of long ago when Vicki and Brian went to school with Russell and the Edwards kids. So glad I made the connection to you some time back. I just remember your Mom always had a friendly smile and was kind to everyone. She did such beautiful work from House Of Greenery and everyone wanted her flowers. You all have my sincere sympathy at this very difficult time.
