Sue,
I am so sorry to hear about your mother passing away. I have many memories of her at Bailey Park watching baseball games.
My sympathies are with you and your family

Please accept my most sincere sympathy on the death of Frances. She was so kind to me when I telephoned her a couple of times to check on Jim Carnell, our classmate (HCHS 62). If someone in the family would contact me so we don't lose track of Jim, I would appreciate it. Again, I extend my sympathy to the entire family at this sad time.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

I remember taking my son, Stephen, to Fran's house every year on Halloween. She was such a very pleasant neighbor and will be dearly missed by all.
