Dear Patty and Colleen,
It's been a long time since I have seen you both, and even longer since I have seen your mom. I am so very sorry for your loss, Louise was a lovely woman. I had so much fun playing bunko with her, her pretending (I think she was!)to be offended by us "girls". You are very lucky to have had her for your mom. I hope you know how much everyone thought of her. Please give your dad a hug for me. I know she is in heaven, she was truely an angel. Much love and sympathy, Debbie Demary
