After the war, our mother wanted to stay in Nursing, but decided to raise a family. The thing we remember the most, was that she was there for us at noon and after school, and when we were sick. (She made the best homemade desserts.)

The family would like to thank Brewster Villages staff for their care and kindness.

God be with you till we meet again!
