Hi Pat, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I know what your family is going through, it was a year ago on April 8th my mom passed away. Memories are the best medicine. I would love to get together it's been a long time. Take care and my thoughts are with you and your family.
Love,
Gail Barton (Polaroid?)

Nancy, Linda and Patty - I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. She had a long life and even though you prepare yourselves for the inevitable, it is never easy to accept that your mother is really gone. My strongest memory of her is at her house after Nancy's wedding. Even though everybody ate at the reception, "Minnie" had cooked up a storm and was busy serving everybody trays of food. You were all urging everybody to eat even if they weren't hungry because you didn't want to hurt your mother's feelings. She was very lucky to have daughters like you who cared for her throughout the years. All my sympathy, Susan
