Dear Cheryl and family,
I tried calling your Mom today, she was on my mind and I am so deeply sadden to see she has passed.
Your Mom was such a good friend to my mother ( Dororthy Bednarczyk) and to me. When my Mom passed I adopted your Mom as mine and she seemed to love that. I will miss talking with her and her giving me advice. I am so sorry for your loss and I want you to know you will be in my prayers. I find comfort in knowing that Dorothy and Stella are together again, probably exchanging receipes or planning some big event.
