Dear Brian, Ellen, Laurie, Joan, and Rob;



My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I will miss Muriel, she was a touch stone for me in remembering my own Mom. I am so glad we had a chance to visit at our last family reunion and speak on the phone.



I hope all is well with everyone. Please keep in touch!

Dear Rob, Brian, Ellen, Laurie and Joan and families,

I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I don't know if she mentioned it to you, but she called me last year when I was in the hospital. I can't tell you how much it meant to me to know that she was worried about me and was thinking of me. It was wonderful to hear her voice and know that she stilll had that same great positive attitude, sense of humor and vibrant personality that I will always remember.

I would love to keep in touch with you, my email address is [email protected] phone # 860-644-6306.

Love to all,

your cousin,

Pat
