To the Dwyer Family,

I was saddened to read about your Mom. I remember her from the Fort Montgomery Inn and the huge glass jar of pretzels at the end of the bar. Jim is living next to my sister Helen in Walden. Your Mom is in your heart and she will be looking down on you all. God Bless, our prayers and sympathies are with you all.
