To each of you..Jake, Nancy and Marilyn...

I was so saddened to hear of your mom's passing and know the pain you all must feel in your hearts.

I know her and my mom are both in heaven chatting, something they both loved to do and reminiss and never seemed at a loss of words!

How wonderful to have childhood friends carry that friendship through all these years.

I know you will miss your mom terribly as I lost mine last year and it seems like yesterday. But, the memories you have will stay in your hearts forever, and that knowone or time can ever take away. May those times carry you through the rest of your lives!

Sincerely,
Shirley Buzo O'Brien
