and when she shall die,
take her and cut her out in little stars,
and she will make the face of heaven so fine
that all the world will be in love with night
and pay no worship to the garish sun.

I love you, Gail ! xoxoxox C

Dear Barbara and Caroline -

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies on your loss.

Your Mom and Dad were very good friends of my parents, Jeanne and Chape Jenkins on Gravers Lane. Your Mom was a great comfort to my Mom when my Dad died in 2003.

I'll fondly remember your Mom.
