I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I loved that woman.
Will always hold fond memories of her and her beloved dogs ( I remember Pork Chop) when I would walk home from school with
Andi. My husband, John, worked with Mr. Zimmerman too. Really great people. Our sincere sympathy to the family. Love, Beverly
and John Lehman
