Hi Debbie,
I was sorry to hear that your Mom had passed. She is at peace now. I think of our younger days often and smile when your Mom comes to mind. She was always so much fun!
With best wishes,
Barbara

Debbie,
I pray that you will be comforted by the wonderful memories your mom left behind. She was a fantastic and very funny woman. She brightened the lives of all who knew her. I will never forget her.

Dear Debbie,
I'm sure you don't remember my sister or myself, but I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to read the news of your mom's passing. Even though it has been at least 40 years since our childhood, which includes you in Burlington, my sister and I speak of it fondly as though it were yesterday.
