Our family has had many wonderful times together. From my earliest remembrances there was always Aunt Edith and Uncle Ken, Barbara and Doug. Many happy family celebrations together and several very sad occasions but that what is being together as a family.

When our Mark was little there were the usual Friday evening gathering especially with little Glen. I remember Doug's graduation from college and also his job at Corning. The house on Henry St. was wonderful and we had a lovely party where Aunt Edith put way too much booze in the Lobster Newburg but we
but we ate it anyway AND I forgot to bring over the fabulous dessert I had made.
Ah well, we always were happy to see each other and rejoiced when we were together.

Thinking of all of you at this difficult time. much love, Janet and Bud
