Dear Starr, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. It has been so long since I have seen you and have tried for a long time to find you my old friend. I remember your mother and father taking us to the Peabody Mall a lot of years ago and remember her as being a very classy lady. I know this is a very sad time for you but I would love to hear from you some time.

Aunt Edith was the last of her generation. Now my cousins and I are the elder generation. I always tried to visit Aunt Edith when I came to Mass. I will always be sorry that I didn't come to see her earlier this last time, always thinking there was plenty of time.
