Hi Susan. Don't know if you remember me but I and my late wife Joan, were good friends with Norma and Jack for most of the years we resided in Homosassa FL.
I had sent her a Christmas card last year and don't remember if I had received a response or not. Trying calling her this past year and received the message that "the number you are calling is not in service". So, I thought I'd send her a card for 2019 and see if she responded or not. Well. I got the card back yesterday and somebody has scrolled on it "deceased", so, I immediately went to the Citrus County Chronicle
and found her obit. I remember that she talked about you and Elaine a lot and I think I remember meeting you on at least one occasion. Anyway, please accept my sincerest apologies cause I am sure you miss her immensely.
Should you feel a need to repond to my note,
I can be reached at [email protected].
Thanks for hearing me out. Bob Bergeron
