Hello Gary, Neal and family,
It's been along time but my memories of your Mom are as fresh as if they happened yesterday.
I worked with her at BCC and spent some wonderful times at the home in Chenango Bridge. I hope you still remember me Gary?
Your Mom was the sweetest person and was incredibly kind to me. I especially loved her quick sense of humor and easy laugh.
She's right where she needs to be now up in heaven with your Dad...the love of her life. Most of us only dream of having a love like your Mom and Dad shared.
When you're heart has healed a bit from losing her PLEASE all 4 of you boys sit down and watch the early family movies. I've seen some of them and your Mom took such special delight in all of you when you were little. You guy's were her LIFE!
My sincerest sympathies,
Beth Gilroy (now Nowak)
