Dear family:
I am very sorry that I was not able to make it to Marcella's funeral. I wish my girls could have come also, but none of us were able to get flights on time. In my last converstation with Marcella, not long before the stroke, she seemed happy and energetic, and sounded pleased with her new surroundings. She talked about her bridge group, and how she was glad to be able to check in on her brother. She was excited to hear about my move and get updates on her granddaughters. I am hopeful that Marcella did not have to suffer in her last days, as she had enough heartbreaking losses in her years on this earth. She never gave up... and that will always be an inspiration to me!Love, Lori

Dear Richard, I was sorry to hear of your mothers passing. I will always have fond memory's of her for her kindness she always showed toward you old friends.
I had bumped into Lou and your Mom at Kings Restaurant many times over the years and you were always discussed. She was very proud of her Doctor son.
Take care,
Your old buddy
