Helen, I'm Vivian Boston's niece but more importantly a life long friend of Sherry's. I was so glad I was able to meet you at her house that evening when you were playing cards as I had heard so many wonderful stories about you and Bob and how wondeful you were to my Aunt Vivian to take her places. Please accept my sincere condolences.
