Pam and Jim: I just read of your Mom's passing and Pat and I and the boys extend our deepest condolences. Your Mom and Dad were wonderful people and great to my Mom and Dad when they lived upstairs on Minot St. I know it is a tough time but just try and remember that your Mom and Dad are together again and she will not suffer anymore. In fact, they are probably having a cocktail with Dot, George and Vin right now in Heaven. Again, our deepest condolences. Love Pete, Pat, Brian and Chris Eagles
