Dear Linda, I hope you know I loved your Mom like she was my own and I will miss her very much. She would tickle me with those special expressions and looks she gave us I will never forget. We had a lot of fun together and I know she and my Mama are in Heaven, God bless all of our family that we will see them again. I am so blessed and honored to be in your family, my Sister. All my love, Sheila E. Hollingsworth

I don't know any of your family. My mother was Sybil Matthis Colson from Trenton, and she and your mother were friends from school in Trenton. I remember one time, your mother coming to visit my mother. They had a wonderful time. This was back in the 60's. I know she was special for her to be best friends with my mama. You will miss her. I don't know if you ever remember your mother mentioning my mama. My mama played guitar and sang and did that at school some too. My sympathy goes out to you all.

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
