    Stan,

    What a beautiful video tribute to your Mother! Seems like yesterday that Jimmy was riding by the house on his red Honda 50!...and you on your 125! Wonderful memories! Although I don't know any of the children/grandchildren, these photos will be a permanent reminder of their grandmother's/great-grandmother's love for them.

    Remembering your family during this time.
