Dear Bridgid, Sally, and all - I was so sad to hear about Gert's passing. She was such a sweet presence and quiet force in your lives, and really in so many of ours too. I have a lot of happy memories of being in your house, because your mom made it a place we wanted to be.
All my love to all of you, I wish I could be with you Saturday.
