Dear Buddy, Brian and Family. I was a friend of your Mom from WAY back - before either of you were born, and before she was married to your Dad. We remained friends during the first few years of her marriage. I lost track of her somewhere along the way and decided recently to "find" her. Was so sorry to see that she had passed away over a year ago. We had some good times together, and she was in my first wedding. I would love to hear from either or both of you about your lives. . . I remember you only a little since you were babies at the time . . . give my regards to your Dad. Julie Dixon (Lytton-White) Fischer (I'm at [email protected])
