Dear Wendy and family.....I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I have fond memories of Mabel and her energy was the life of a party. The obituary describes her contribution to humanity - a wonderful legacy to leave with her family. You are in my thoughts today. Marlene Woltman - Posted by: Marlene Woltman () on: Jul 25, 2014
