I was saddened to learn that your mother died. I realize that this is very devastating to all of you. I can only hope that you will get strength from each other as you always have through the years.

I remember the house near Ward School and all the times we would run in and out to either get stuff or play in the basement and your mother really never seem to get upset or bewildered by being over run by a horde of kids! She had a fabulous disposition and just putting up with you guys absolutely makes her a saint!!

I was so sorry I was unable to be at the funeral but mom told me that it was beautiful and she also told me she got to speak with you all at the house last
evening.

I wish you all much strength in this sad time.

All my Love,

Mark

I've known your Mom for over forty years and she will be deeply missed. I remember all those times that I spent with her in her kitchen, talking about things that seemed so very important to me.She was always a good listener and able to give gentle advice. I remember how upset I was when she decided to go back to her natural hair color. To this day, I don't know why it bothered me so much. I remember her patience and understanding when I smashed the T-Bird into her garage door or when I highlighted Margie's hair and it looked so awful that Mrs. Kaitz had to bring Margie to the hairdressers. Mrs. Kaitz was a kind, bright, and loving woman and I love her very much.
