Jon and family, It was with great sadness I read your email notifying me of your mothers passing. From my youth, I always remember your Mom as a happy, fun loving, generous, always smiling lady. I did babysit for you a few times and it was always a pleasure, as it was to see you grow up. Your Mom hosted my first baby shower for my oldest son Geoffrey and what a surprise it was. As we moved around my brother Jim always kept me informed of how you were doing. Our youth on Caulfield Circle was precious and a true "disneyworld" and your mother (parents)were a big part of my youth and the family feeling in the Circle. Know I am thinking of you and your family, my deepest sympathy, Joanne Spilman Kilduff and family, Fallston, MD
