Charlotte, Bobbie, and Janice,

My deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mom. I have fond memories of her from Harvie Road apartments. She used to take care of me after school when I was in the first grade. I lost a tooth while she was taking care of me when I bit off a piece of hot dog. Of course, I was close to panic, but she acted as if it were nothing (and it was), so I calmed right down. I remember babysitting for Cathy & Michael and living just down the sidewalk from Janice. I also remember that my father insisted that I call Charlotte "Mrs. Donovan" after you were married. I couldn't understand why, since I had always called you Charlotte, but I complied, even though you resisted. It was a wonderful time to get to know all of you ladies and to be cared for by your very special Mom. I hope your treasured memories will help to see you through this sad time. With fond memories and deepest sympathy, Linda (Watkins) Bogley
