As a part of the family, I want to extend my deepest sympathy to the rest of the family and to all of Mom's friends. I will truly miss her infectious smile, her loving and caring ways, her thoughtfulness, and the love she showed to my boys. I wish that one more time I could hear her make a deal with Danny--"a nickel for a pickle", or calling Jack and Danny her little "scallywags". She truly loved spending time with her grandsons--either playing games, with Play Doh, or listening to stories of their days. Mom was always there to listen and was my ally--the one other person who knew how exactly stubborn my husband (her son) can be at times. She taught me and my family so much about patience, love, and the importance of family. She is truly missed by our entire family.

My sympathies to Diane's family. I met her through my association with the Showmen's League of America. Her friendly spirit and welcoming voice was appreciated by thousands of League members across America.
