Bob & Vivian,
I remember my first Clam Digger Bob & Vivian, and loved your mother as she performed her magic! A wonderful memory of your very special mother to both Sue and I. We both think of Vivian and you Bob, in a tough time during your loss.. Having known the Small Family and their siblings have been a great friendship to my family as well. She will be greatly missed. Warmest Regards, Our Thoughts…. Paul & Sue
