Mike, Mike, Mark, and Renee,
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother and wife.
She was a wonderful lady. I was saddened to hear of her passing.
I will always remember talking with her for awhile whenever I would stop over years ago, and how well read, knowledable, and caring she was on most every topic.
She was a terrific person and I am grateful to have known her a little bit.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. 
Dave Friedrichs Jr.
