Just read of your Mothers passing we are sorry to hear but know she has gone to a better place. Wish we could have come but Mother isn't well she fell a couple of weeks ago & she can't go to St Johns anymore because of her heart.

The all the Whiting Family I knew so long ago in Holbrook, please accept my condolences at this sad time in your lives. I remember her so much as she and Art stopped at the Wayside Drive Inn for ice cream cones for the entire carfull of family, and I was later told they had just been married.
Bless you all
