To Steve and the Licht Family,
Steve, I only met and spoke to your mother a few times when she would stop in to see you at work. I always enjoyed speaking with her when she would come in. She seemed like a very wonderful person and our conversations would turn to music and the band.My prayers are with you and your family. I lost my mom and dad quite a few years ago but they are always in my thoughts. Know that your mom is in her eternal life and is at peace and ever watching over you.
Your friend,
Rick Kirchoff
