To all the Willard Family,
Cacky was a fabulous lady and a fine bridge player. I will always remember what a compassionate and fine hostess she was to us in Groton Long Point. She's with Wendy.
Love, Marge and George Kaplan

Prudy and Rocky-
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I have so many happy memories of your family between growing up in West Hartford and spending time at GLP. I know how much she meant to all of you.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Prudy, Rocky, and all the others,

I really enjoyed your Mom especially when we visited West Hartford for the Charter Oak football games and at Groton Long Point for those summer get togethers. She will be missed but I know you all will carry on.
