I was sorry to hear of you mother's death. She made us feel so welcome all those years at your big house. We sure had fun playing and sharing time with you all growing up. Then I even got to see your mom a few times at Warwick Forest. Take care--would love to visit with you all ....Mary Anne Barrow Dellinger

Dear Pat,
I was sad to learn that your mother had passed away. A lovely lady. She was so kind and welcoming to me when we were children. What fun days those were!
Loving thoughts to all of you.
