Dearest Goulding Family:

I'm so sorry for all of your loss. Your Mom was a fun loving, feisty, strong woman. I have/had allot of respect for her. I shared allot of laughter and some tears with she and the rest of you. The love she and your Father shared was remarakable. She will be missed

All my Love,

Sincerely,

Deirdre Monahan
