Why was the name significant?


Why was naming the sled after Junior's mother significant? Did I miss something was she sick, passed away? Thanx for the help!!!

They wanted to name the sled "Taloula" as a joke. Junior took offense, because it was his mother's name.

I intend to live forever.
So far, so good.
