So sorry to read about the loss of your beloved wife. I never met her but if she was as nice as you, I am not surprised you found each other. Have thought about you often since I left Chesebrough- Ponds in Jefferson City, MO. In fact my daughter lives in Georgia and we drove to LaGrange GA for dinner. I thought you had a plant there or one of the sales people was from there. Hope all is well with you and your family. We are good in Jeff. City.
