Mary and Linda:



I just checked the Pittsfield news on-line and I was so saddened to read that your brother has passed away. I don't think I ever met him but I do remember, Mary, that you spoke very highly of him and I'm sure he will be sadly missed. My thoughts are with you and your family. (Maybe he and your Mom are sharing some of her heavenly potatoe pancakes up there.....)



much love,

Christine
