Sylvia, So sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was such a dear lady. She was so kind and patient teaching all of us active and screaming Girl Scouts how to cook and bake! Hang in there. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

I just found out that Mrs. Smith, our wonderful neighbor, had passed away. The neighborhood will not be the same without her. She and Mrs. Lapidies were the last of the 'noon goons'. She will always be in my heart. Love to you all, Cissy (Tovrea) Edwards

I am so very sorry to hear about Virginia. Mother and your wonderful wife were good friends. It is so sad. Mother was just April 2, as you know. I will be praying for your family at this very difficult time. Love, Marti Cramer Schiffman
