You show grace and strength in this ordeal, Greta. Sean must be a truly fine young man. Your mother was my childhood friend and aunt, though we were only six months apart in age. We spent summers together, grew to be accomplished young women under the stern and watchful eye of Virgia (Grandma Virginia) and Betty (my mother). You are in my thoughts and prayers as well as those of my children. I look forward to seeing you when we meet again. Love to you and Sean. You are surely blessed for taking care of your mother.

My thoughts are with you. I knew Pam at Colonel White. She was a woman of great grace and beauty. I am sorry I never saw her after high school. I often wondered what her life had become. So sorry she had a long illness.
