OSTERHOUT, Barbara Jennings

Mike, Jeff, Ross, Rick and Susie,
Condolences on the loss of your mom. Your mother and father brought fun and camraderie to a staid, old New England brokerage firm when they moved to Connecticut. Bobbie was the perfect hostess and always made a house full of people feel as though each one was part of your family. You must have many happy memories to treasure.
