Dear Dean, Billy and families,
I am very sorry to hear about your Mom. I did not know her well but when I ran into her and Uncle Billy in North Conway a number of years ago they immediately invited us into their home and shared a lot of funny history with us, it is a time we won't forget. I know she is at peace now.

Sincerely,
Ginny and Sean Gilmartin
