    Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
    It seems our families have been crossing paths through the years. First with our Dad/Papa ( Art Mastellar) and yours working together at the American Can , then Greg and Trevor playing sports together at Romulus and finally, your Mom/Grandmother and our Dad were in rooms opposite each other at the rehab center.
    We lost Dad in October and now your Mom..
    Deepest sympathy for your loss,
    The Totman family
    Bobbie, Trevor and Mollie
