Dear Kathy and family,
It was truly a pleasure to know and work with your mother at Groton Elementary School. She was never without a smile or a funny little comment. We miss her very much as I am sure that you do. She may be gone but she is certainly not forgotten. I hope that time will ease the pain. I truly believe that we will meet up with her again someday. Take care.
