Dear Katie and Linda and family.
Somehow we missed the death notice for your Mom or we would have been there for her Memorial Mass at OLGC. We still think of your Mom and Dad in their home on Nightshade Court even though other people live in their home now. Their grandchildren and our children were about the same age growing up and we often spoke of them. I found I had more in common with your Mom than someone younger than I. She was a beautiful, stylish, happy, concerned, loving woman and we were grateful she was our neighbor for almost 30 years. I don't know what made me google her name today. Perhaps she was trying to reach out to me.
