Max & Neil.
It was truly an honer to work with your Mom at the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. She was an amazing Lady who brought her love of Life with her where ever she went. Her smile and laughter were truly contagious and will surely be missed. She was a gem who will continue to sparkle in my minds eye. I am sorry for your loss.
