Dear Maryanne, Sue, Greg & Jon,
My heart goes out to you all. Your mom was a wonderful person and I have so many memories of the times we would travel to VT & MA with her. Just to remember those times makes me smile. You were very lucky to have her all these years. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during these difficult days. She will be missed.
Love Linda (Beagle) and Larry O'Brien
