Dear Kathy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I was the nurse at the doctor's office for many years and have great memories of your Mom. She was a lady of strong convictions. We enjoyed many laughs over the years. She would always tell me I had better stop and see her in her home in Canandaigua before she died. That was 20 years ago ! As I was leaving she gave me a beautiful hand made afgan. I treasure it to this day.
What a great lady!
