Dear Gigi, Susan and Pam,
Mrs. Farnham was an important part of my childhood. I never called her Sally even as an adult because the sound of her name was so dear to me. It brought back so many memories. Running into your house, past the cookie jar and into Gigi's room. Going to Tryon to visit Gonk and driving the golf cart. Laying under the piano as Gigi did her 30 minutes of practice. I was always welcomed...didn't need to knock. I even knew where the key was for the house if it was ever locked. It was my home away from home. Mrs. Farnham was always welcoming and so good to me. I know her soul is at rest. Love to you all and hugs, Annie
