I'm saddened at your Mom's passing. My parents (Peter and Rita Legace) were great friends of Beth and Jim. They had much in common and loved to play cards, share meals and go on picnics. Beth could make the most amazing salads and sandwiches. One never left hungry. Great memories of the Cornfest in Hanover, growing up with Scott and Susan who lived behind us and many other celebrations. I'm sorry for your loss Scott and Sandra, and Susan and Tim. Cherish those memories. Beth and Jim were great friends and very generous people. May she rest in peace.
