Dear Joanne,Jake & Don, Please accept my condolences on hearing about the death of your Mom. She was a close and dear friend of my Mom's both at the library and socially. They shared many memories and stories over the years. She always wrote the nicest notes to us and always had a kind word for everyone. She was very proud of her children. I know she also was good friends with my late Aunt Anne Callahan and they enjoyed each others phone calls and visits. She was a wonderful lady and I will remember her always and keep her in my prayers. I am sorry I was away when she died and didn't know how ill she was. I can see by the notice that Joanne and Don have moved back to Charlestown so it was nice she had someone there. Keeping you all in my thoughts Ellen (Neary) Hooper
