My mom was my best friend.  This is one of my favorite wedding day pictures.

I’m so happy Mom got the opportunity to meet my daughter Ashby. I love this picture, but it’s clear mom’s smile was affected by ALS.

Mom and Dad were always so proud of me and my sister Karen.

My parents, Betty and Leonard, on their wedding day.

A great shot of the entire family at Myrtle Beach, S.C., for Thanksgiving.

A happy time with our parents – here we are just after Ashby was born.
