Dear All,I was saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. Nick and Val adored her as their "summer mom" and I aways felt so at ease knowing that they were in such good hands. She was loving, caring, and fun, which really made the perfect sitter. I know that to all of you she was the perfect mom. She loved each of you in her very special way! You were blessed to have her for your mom and we were blessed to have known her. Please find solace knowing that she won't be forgotten and that our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
