I remember your Mom from the couple of times that I had the good fortune to meet her as high-spririted, full of energy, and a joy to be around. My thoughts are with you as you go through this difficult time.

Katie, I am so very sorry for your loss. Know that all who love you are holding you in thoughts and prayers. I never met your Mom, but she sounds like she was a wonderful person - and how could she not be, with you being such a terrific person yourself?
May your good memories of her comfort you as you walk through this difficult time. I wish you well -- Chris N.

Dear Kate and George,
I count myself blessed that I got to know Betty over the years, and enjoyed her company so many times when she came to Boston to visit. Her powers of positive thinking were such an inspiration to me, especially when she "adopted" me after my mom died. She always made me feel as though everyone in the room was her family, and her affection was so warming!
Dick and I will be with you and all your family in spirit this Friday to wish her well on her way. Much...
