My very best wishes to Sarah, Chad and Jeffrey.
Our mothers were best friends for years when we lived on Beacon Hill. Neenie was an amazing force of life! She brightened every room she walked into.
My heart goes out to you.

With daughter, Sarah, as my best friend, Neenie was like a mother to me growing up. She was an amazingly spirited, energetic, passionate woman. She will be very much missed and always remembered. Thoughts and prayers go out to Sarah, Chad and Jeff.

She had so many talents...her flowers and her gardens,her needlework, her love and knowledge of history, her love and knowledge of antiques.... Truely "A Lady of All
Seasons."
