Carl,
I was so sorry to read about your mother's death, but think this should also be a time to celebration her long life. She was a sweet face we saw at church, and I know was always a very loving presence in your life. She was also a friend of my mother's, and I remember visiting her with my mother. I keep up with my wonderful Granby girls, even though I now live in Richmond, and it was Janet Burgess Wilson who emailed me about your mother. I hope you are enjoying life in Atlanta. But I know you will miss your mother, and we are all thinking about you now.

Carl, I have been fortunate to be welcomed into your life and your mother's and father's. I consider each of you a gift.

I am grateful they both have far better lives now.

Your Mom and Dad could not have been more proud of you, their son.

Carl, I haven't seen you since graduation 1965. I was the tallest girl at Granby, Layne Fraser. I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. My thoughts are with you.
I always admired you, so smart and together.

Hi Carl,

Hi Carl,
It's me, Janet Burgess, from Talbot Park and Granby Elementary and
Granby Hi.
I am so sorry to see your dear mother's obituary in the paper.
I remember her so well and she was such a LADY and nice
person. My mother, Hannah Burgess, thought so much of her
and so did I.
We have missed you at the class reunions. There's one coming up
in October.
I would love to see you or at least hear from you. I remember you so
well and you were such fun. We were imprisioned together at church......

But seriously, I send my sympathy and condolences.

Carl, I am so very sorry to hear about your mom; I so appreciated her love and words to me when my mother passed away in 2002: as you probably know, I would go visit her whenever coming home from Denver over the years and then she and I would even write each other from time to time; most recently, I would hear news of your mom from Jolene Shapiro and finally today Janet Burgess who was in our Granby class and saw this sad news. I remember how Mrs. Walker would roll her eyes at your and my antics when we were kids playing together, and that she would make lunches for us to eat and have us sit down at your family's breakfast nook kitchen table by that window looking out onto Hariton Court. She always had a special place in my heart. I also miss you a lot Carl and hope that you might get in touch with me whenever you may wish. My email is [email protected] and I am on facebook too (under the name Robert Shakti Das Brodie). Your childhood friend always, Robert Brodie
