Comments = Sorry to hear of the loss of your sweet mother.  I will never forget her kindness and
wonderful food she served my dad at the nursing home.  Also, my surprise she baked me a  Coconut
Cream pie for my 50th birthday, the same day we buried my Aunt Irene in Helena. I couldn't believe
she remembered it was my favorite.
