Dear Kathy, Marybeth, Kevin, Robert, Richard and Debbie, What a wonderful Mom you all had. I am so grateful that I got to see her in May. I somehow knew it would be the last time. I always remember her as being so kind and just plain fun. She always had a twinkle in her eye. She was so thoughtful when Freddy was ill and she always remembered my birthday. I am at a loss because , to me, she was the one person who anchored me to my childhood with such great, funny memories. I am very, very sad and you are all in my thoughts.
Cousin Bernie and family

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.
