Our thoughts and prayers go out to Steve and family. Your Mother tolerated a lot with kids trying to make music in her basement. She was a classy lady.
Steve, Diana & family, I just read about your Mom’s death. I was fortunate enough to run into her a few times in Mo. Valley (in later years) when I was up there seeing my Mom and she was always so very gracious and pleasant to talk with. All those nights of “band” practice in your basement took some patience on her part as well as your dad!! I enjoyed getting to know her during those times. She was always so very nice to me and I will never forget that. God Bless. Vickie
