Dear Anne Marie and Family.
My prayers and sympathy fo you and your family. It´s been many years since we graduated from Salve, Anne Marie. I´m so glad that we French majors remain friends.
I only met Alan one time, but I will never forget the cookies he baked when my late husband, John, and I had a delicious lunch at your Reading home in 2019.
Peace to you and yours....
