Dear Hughey Clan: I'm sorry to learn of the earthly loss of your treasured mom. She was a brightly shining light in this world and especially in my youth; I've remembered her fondly all these years. One of the last chats we had I asked her to share a favorite recipe for my collection from special people in my life. She blessed me with her hot fudge ice cream sauce recipe: yum! Now I share the passing of my mother Diane Ihrman last week. I've lived with her these last several years and can say there was joy in her days. I hope the same holds true for Janet. Much love, Betsy.
