Fremont, NE Tuesday, June 24, 2014 Teresa-I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. I didn't know her very well but remember from a grade school birthday party that she made cupcakes in ice cream cones for you and I always thought that was SO cool! :) I pray for your family many healing thoughts during this difficult time.
