Girls,
There are so many memories of you guys and your mother. From spending many nights on the sofa waiting for each of you to be born to your house catching fire and staying at my house. All the diners your mom and I had on Saturday nights. I could go on and on. I did get to see her in July and had a good visit. I will miss her very day. She was my best friend. Love always, Carol
