Not sure what to say?





So sorry to learn of Jessie's passing! She was one of my mothers best life long friends. More like family...I think they were like sisters. Working and at times living together, bringing up their familes. Always visiting regularly, their husbands bonded as well and got along. I also. felt their love. My mom and dad. had a csmera and I have some. great pictures. of them and children. going back. 60 or 70 years ago. Vermont. was a different place at that time. The Allbee farm was a going place with many activities and endeavors.
My sympathy to all the family, with loving thoughts and blessings.
I kept in touch by phone with your mom. She was a faithful and true friend...
