Dear Maureen,
I was very sorry to read of the passing of your mother. I have great memories of her as she spent a lot of time at my mother's home while I was growing up. You were a wonderful daughter to her and it was always nice to see the two of you always together. I live in Florida for 8 months and Hooksett for 4 months so I was unable to attend her wake. My deepest sympathy to you.
