Your Mom was one of my sunday school teachers many years ago. She was a wonderfull, lovely lady. What a fine example of a practicing Christian. Now God has another Blessing at His side. My grandparents were Mr. and Mrs Robert Collier of Stonington. Their daughter, my mom was Elma Pinkston from Assumption.
