My thoughts and prayers are with all of you...happy memories of visits with Clara and Elizabeth with my mom and Grammy (Ann and Lorraine)...and have heard many wonderful stories through the years. The thought of Elizabeth, John, Gertie, Leonard, Lorraine and Edward all playing bridge together brings a huge smile to my face as well.
