Dear Steve, Keith and Erin, Your wife and Mom was an awesome person! She and I shared so many wonderful times going up in Summit...we were crazy best friends and I was so happy we were able to reconnect in this past year. We had planned to "run away" for a vacation after I announced my plans to retire this June. She was a solid support in my life and I was so sorry to hear from her just this past Sunday that she was not well. I would love to meet you all because I know how dedicated she was to each of you! Love to you at this very sad and painful time. Ann Karpenski-Cooke, 69 Meyersville Road, Chatham, NJ 07928

I loved Aunt Pam very much. She was a great Aunt, my second Mom, and I really wish she had not died like Mom (verbatim from Liam). Pam was remarkable. Strength and love to all of you (Bill).
