Jan, Twila
I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I had lunch with her a few times and attended a concert with her in the last few years. She was a special lady. We shared a connection as cat lovers. I got to "re-know" her from her acquaintance with my sister and brother in law, Davida and Larry Monahan. My sympathy, again,
Sharon

To Twila, Jan & family, Eileen was a lovely lady & such a help to me during my stay in the Music Dept @ Hollins College in the 70's. Twila, I remember teaching you at some point during that time. Your Mother was so proud of both of you. I enjoyed connecting with her for a short time after I moved back to Roanoke. We enjoyed attending Jim Leland's recital @ Christ Church. Please accept my sincere sympathy. She was truly a beautiful lady with an unforgettable smile, & will be missed by many. Much love, Ann (Argabright) Berlin.
