Dear Sue, I am very saddened to hear of Kay's passing. She is in my thoughts quite often as a reminder of why it is I do the job I do. She was always the bright spot in my day with her smile, her kindness and of course, a chocolate.

Susan & family: I am so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I was driving by your house Sat. and said to myself, "I'm stopping by on Tues. (my day off) to do my annual stop for the holidays. Your mom was always great to me. The bright spot of my day. No. Not just for the cookies....well, maybe a little. I'm so sorry I didn't make it over sooner. I'm glad she went in her sleep, she deserved peace. A real sweet lady. That's why her baked goods were so good....you could taste the love.
