Sorry for you loss Al, my condolences to you and your family.
I haven't had the opportunity to meet you in person, I've only ever seen a few pics of you from meets and whatnot, yet when I opened this thread and saw that picture of your mother I was amazed by the striking resemblance. Even in those last couple of pics her smile is infectious, it must have been wonderful for her to have been surrounded by her family like that.
