I was stunned to see that Isabel had passed. I am glad I got to see her when her dear friend, my Mom, Sue, passed in May. I know they had many wonderful times together over the years and hope they will again. She updated me on Ellen whom I haven't seen for years!!

So sorry to see the news about Isabel -- she was a great friend to my mother, Sue -one of her last visitors - and now I see that the third "Musketeer", Mary, has also died -- so now they are all together again. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all - I know you will miss her.
