Dear Nancy,
Very sad to hear the news about your mother. I have many fond memories of growing up in Blackstone, of which you and your mom are apart of. Reading the write up in the paper, I remember when we wore your mom's waitressing uniform for Halloween one year. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Sincerely,
Sara(Maloney)DePesa
