Claudia and Ellen -
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mother was one of the finest and grandest Southern ladies I have memory of in my 57 years. We are missing more and more of the dames lately. I will always remember being in your home - running up and down the back stairs - - Ellen's "Southern" wedding with the big floppy hats and all the fun times in your beautiful Marietta mansion. My love is with you thru this week of remembering her wonderful presence.
