Joan,...

I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Losing Mom is one of the hardest things we have to endure! Feel free to write if you'd like to talk. I have so many many fond memories of all the family times we spent together, and have always loved your Mom so much. Mom and I still visited with her when we could while I was in Cape Cod.

I hope that you are well, and assume that you are living in the Webster St. home. Do you have her kitties?

Much love to you I hope you have some family around you to help you through your loss!!!

Marcie
