Joan e-mailed me and let me know of your mother's passing. What a wonderful woman she was! I will never forget the sleep overs and the HUGE pancakes with Jill. She was beautiful inside and out, and never seemed to age when I saw her. I did not remember that she had lived in Maine - I enjoyed reading about her life. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you remember her.
