I am sorry to hear about Mrs. Todd's passing. She was very kind, the first time I met her was a dozen years ago at a garage sale. She surprised me by coming back a week later with an original work of art she had painted just for me. I have always treasured it, it is a painting of mountains with trees and a stream. She was a very giving person and will be missed.
