Phyllis, Dorothy and I go back to our high school days. We became very close when she was living with your Dad on Walnut St., I lived a few houses from them.
Google helped me find your Mother and now it is too late. We lost so many years and now it is too late. My deepest sorrow and sympathy to you and your family.

I lost touch with Dorothy a long time ago. But I remember her great spirit, humor and kindness at the Radcliffe Institute where we both worked. I'll bet she was one terrific grandma.
