Dear Pauline and family, I have just found out that your Mom has died. My deepest sympathies to you and the kids. I know you were also so close to her and you were a great daughter. She was a strong woman and holding her own even just a couple of years ago at Scott's wedding. Keeping you all in my prayers. Love Ellen Hooper

Dear Pauline and family,
I have fond memories of your mother when we both worked at the Library - different libraries, same commuter route. She was always so pleasant and informative. My prayers are with her and you during this difficult time.
Love, Cookie (Whelan) Giordano
