Mary Ann and Freddy,

I am very sorry to hear about the death of your Mom. Even though we have been separated by years and distance, I still remember the wonderful times that my sister and I had with both of you and your parents. I remember your Mom keeping Freddy and me in line. In those days, it didn't matter whether or not the "Mom" was your Mom. Wherever you were that Mom always ruled and was respected.
