Hello, Alec, Erin, and Eric. I am so sorry about the passing of your grandma. She talked about you kids ALL THE TIME when she, Roseann and I “hung out” during our years at Snap-on. She loved you so much.
Georgette and Jay, my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your families. I will miss your mom forever.
Love, Deb Smith
