Lanier and family,
I am so sorry for another loss in your family. You both always made me feel like a daughter; that's something that I will always treasure. I will be thinking of you all at Christmas.

Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome
Has many sonnets: so here now shall be
One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me
To her whose heart is my heart’s quiet home,
To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee
I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome;
Whose service is my special dignity,
And she my loadstar while I go and come
And so because you love me, and because
I love you, Mother, I have woven a wreath
Of rhymes wherewith to crown your honored name:
In you not fourscore years can dim the flame
Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws
Of time and change and mortal life and death.?
Sonnets are full of love - Christina Rossetti (1881)

I remember going to the Allen's house as a kid. We always had great times, and Cynthia's hot German potato salad was a special treat. Lanier, fond hugs to you and your family.

Dear Lanier and family, I am so sorry ! Cynthia will be truly missed by all. The one thing I have always said about Cynthia is that she would give you the shirt off her back if you needed. I will miss her greatly.
