Not sure what to say?

Dear Holly, I just looked up your Mom´s name on line to see if she still lived in Huntley Il. To my surprise, I see she passed away. What a good long life she had. I called her once and she sounded just like the good old "Mary Jo" that I remember when growing up nextdoor to all of you on Hartway Drive. Lots of memories were made for sure.

Worked with Mary Jo at Century 21 Middleton for many years. We played cards with her and Gordon when they lived in Michigan City She was a special friend.
