Gail & June,
I'm sad about Gramma leaving us. But I have to think, that knowing Gramma, she was ready to begin a new journey. She was not the type of woman to do something that she didn't want to, or to be bullied-about. I'm sitting here thinking about the first time that I met her. It was Gail's shower and Gramma arrived early... and bossed me about to do this and that. LOL Most people are intimidated by the big group of us when we get together, but not Gramma, she felt right at home with the Pomfret clan from day 1 and treated us like her own. I used to enjoy asking her how she was doing as Gram was never at a loss for words.

Dear Augie, Doris, & Family

My sincere, heartfelt sympathy to you. I have so many wonderful memories of your Mom. She now is in peace, whole, & happy again with all of her family and friends. Your Dad and my Dad are probably serving their home-made wine in celebration of welcoming Mom home among them. May God Bless you during this time.
