Mike,
So sorry to hear of your Mom passing. We had many fun nights with her and your Dad at the bowling alley and happy times with them at Step One Records. Now she and Tex are together again and may she rest in peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family,
Leslie and Ron

I have not been here, for obvious reasons... Leslie told me about this thread at the funeral. I thank all of you; I have some wonderful friends here. This is the toughest thing I believe I've ever dealt with; even worse than when Dad died, and he left a huge hole.
Thank you, I love you, and I will get back on an even keel; I know I need time... my best to all of you...
Michael
