Bill, Carol and family,
Sorry for the loss of your Mom. I was just a kid when we worked at FIrst National way back when, but when you worked with "Mrs. Craig" it was guaranteed to be a fun shift. She was a real hot ticket, the original Maude! I have a hunch that she kept that sense of humor from when I last saw her in 1970 something all the way thru. I'm sure there are countless memories of those always spot on insightful comments and the understated hilarious expressions that she delivered her zingers with to remember for years to come.
Seems like minutes ago that we were at M.M."s Holiday party just outside of Boston, but the "80's are now over a quarter century gone, scary to see how fast time has gone. All the best to you, three cheers for "Mrs. Craig" and hope to bump into you someday soon or at least before the fat lady sings for one of us…. God forbid (L.O.L.)!
Take Care,
Dave Christina

Bill, Mary Ellen and family,
Auntie Marge was a gift to our whole family and she will be sorely missed. It's a special memory to have been all together not too long ago and a reminder of how wonderful family really is. She is in God's gentle hands now. Love to all.
