Dear Barbara Ann, Charlie, Lenny, Patty, David, Kenny and your brothers who will not remember me . . .

My brother, Gregory, notified me this morning of your Mom's promotion to glory and I'm so saddened for your loss. Even having been away from Boston for 37 years, and Orchard Park for 47, I'll always remember the many kindnesses of Mr. and Mrs. Alkins to me as a young girl . . . and my friendships with all of you.

You have my heartfelt sympathies in this difficult time . . . just know that the deeper sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Please contact me . . . you'll be in my prayers.
