    Dear Jimmy and Raymond, I have memories of your mother as a strong independent woman. I remember her giving me a pair of plaid Bermuda shorts when I was in junior high school that she no longer wore. I cherished them! Know that her spirit will be around you and with you always. Love, Deborah Hansen Hollenberg flowers from our family to arrive Wednesday morning before 10:00.
