Dear Sue,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. From what you told us about her she seemed like a great lady and I wish I could have met her. My heart goes out to you.

Sue, I appreciate your contacting me when your Mom moved to Shoreline. I was able to visit her a couple of times. When I delivered her groceries, as part of the Shop Ahoy program, we used to share fun stories about our pets. I will miss her.
