My dad Harvey managed the Legion and my mom and some of my siblings worked for the steak fries , pork chop feeds etc. . From the picture she still had her wonderful smile . Her and your dad always had great smiles. I hope her last days were Peaceful. May God give you comfort as you face life without her. Share your memories often for they will keep her memory alive into the future . Cherish them Forever in your Hearts for that is where she will Always be. Blessed Be Her Memory . God’s Blessings.
