Leslie,

I just wanted to post a note saying how sorry I am to hear that your mother passed away. Even though I live in NJ, I scan the Boston Globe website from time to time and recently by chance happened to spot the notice for your mother. It’s been a long while since we’ve been in touch and I hope everything is going well otherwise. Your Mom and Dad were two of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my life and it was always a pleasure to see them when I used to swing by the homestead on Westchester Circle way back when.

Please give my regards to Linda, Laurie, Scott and Steve and best wishes to you, Steve, Megan, Lauren and Erin. Would be nice to catch up with you sometime. Again, my condolences to all.

Martha was one of my mother's dearest friends. My mother and I were lucky to see her again last summer. She'll remain in our memories.
My condolences to the family.
