“Marie, Linda, Nancy & Petra, Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your mom. She was a second mom to so many of us growing up. Remember? Who could forget? Only a remarkable woman full of love would always accept us in her home. That kind of nurturing and unwavering support leaves an indelible mark on people's lives, it did mine. She will always be in the thoughts and prayers by all who knew and loved her as our second mom. -Bobby Stine”
