Dear Paula & Allen,
So many wonderful memories of "Aunt" Shirley and "Uncle" Jack, especially at Nantasket with Nana & Popi. I used to love to run upstairs for those poppyseed cookies! Then the visits at the Cape at my parents-they were such great friends-priceless memories! My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. Stay strong.
Love, Diane
