Dear Mr. Saganich, Scott, Albie (that's how I remember you - I'm not sure if you go by "Al" now), Mark, and Michael,

This is Ann-Marie Hayes from Marshfield. My brother John sent me your mom's obituary.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I spoke with her almost exactly a year ago to let her know my mom had past. It was wonderful to reconnect with her regardless of the impetus to call. She so wonderfully bragged about each and everyone of you. She always did this (well, once you got past your sketchy youths - you seemed like such "bad boys" to me back then). Quite frankly, I was always surprised at how great you all turned out! I hope she realizes that all her great parenting had effected you all along even though you did things like run away. Yes, Scott, i still remember that and how worried your mom was! You also lit shoe laces on fire. That was either you Michael or Mark or both. You invited Albie Burns and I over to see your new kitten. While we were looking under the bed we smelled smoke. I look back at that fondly (not kidding). It was quite creative, I have to admit. I remember Albie's longish curly hair that (i thought) made you look like a derelict. Now that I think of this, this gives me hope that my son with be fine. He is such a rascal now and waaaaaaayyyy too smart for his own good - he may not apply it to school but school smarts are not the only way to be smart! Speaking of which, sounds like it ends up you guys are brilliant. Sorry for judging you. Its just that getting lit on fire shapes how a person thinks of the arsenist ;-) Despite your sophmoric tendencies, you were obviously wonderful people - why else would I have returned time and time again and get soooo happy when you visited my house to see my brothers. Mark do you remember being in the fort in my playroom when I admitted to having a crush on you? You were very kind and never made me feel embarrassed for acting like such a little girl (which I guess I was). I think your mom remembered this as when I called her a year ago she gushed about how good looking your were and what a great dad you are to your little girl. I think she was trying to play match maker. See, even as you kids grew older, she was still looking out for you!

Yup, I was intimidated by each and everyone of you. Yet your house was a very welcoming place which your mom and dad created. I always felt I could walk right in even though it was officially my brothers that were friends with you. I think I would even walk in and hang with your mom by myself. I also remember an aunt that used to visit. Did she have red hair. I always made sure to visit when she was there. I liked her very much and I thought she and your mom were so sweet and fun together.

Mr Saganich, you were great as well. You talked to my brothers and I like we were peers and this was pretty cool to us. You chose a great wife and provided a wonderful home for you and your boys. My family enjoyed our kitchen very much after you turned it into something livable and my dad was very happy with it. It was nice to see him enjoy his beach house so much and the kitchen renovation was a part of that.

Thank you for induging me in memory lane. I do look back with a huge smile on my face about those times.

People think I have a lethal memory so I hope I didn't scare you for remembering all of the above. Unfortunately I can't remember where I put my glasses. I think this is because my brain fills the space by remembering what is important to me.

Speaking of which. I always LOVED your mom's funky style glasses! What an incredible woman she was!!!!
