Robin, Eric and family,
Your Mom was extra special to me for many years. When I read about her death it sure hurt me but also I let her go as she is sure in a better place. Please take care of Monk as he was a very special person to your Mom. She thought the world of him and never wanted to see him hurt. She also put you children and her grandchildren before anyone else. To my knowledge I do not belive she ever hurt any one intentionly. Your Mom, Althea and I had many laughs and good times together. Robin if you need me you know how to contact me. Love to all of you, Joan Clarke
