Hi Barb,
I want to send my sympathy to you and Leo. I just lost my mother in November and although they lived such long lives, it is still hard. Am thinking of you and also wish to tell you how nice it was to sit near you at the class reunion and have a real visit. How fun that was. Take Care.

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. She and Gary are probably spending time catching up on old times. May your memories provide you comfort during this difficult time.
