If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?

The first person I would choose to have dinner with would be my Mom just to spend time with her and get one more conversation out of her.

The third person would be Cheryl Filardi just to tell her thank you for taking me in as her own when I was at my lowest in life.
