Mike and Robin, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I can't tell you how much I loved and admired her. She has always been a significant person in my life, and I've hated to see her health deteriorate over the past couple of years. I miss her outspoken ways and bold sense of humor. She was a wonderful Great Aunt! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Lots of love, Sabrina Hopper Gibson
