ReplyDavid, Sheila, and Amanda, I am sorry to learn that your mom has passed away. I have lots of good memories of coming out to your house with my dad (40 years ago!) and remember both of your parents as really great people. I still have a very old embalming fluid bottle that your dad found in one of the buildings next to their house, which he gave to my dad to give to me. I know the spirit of both of your parents will live on in all of you!
