Marilyn and Karen,
You have our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. I heard about your loss on Sunday and felt
so bad for you both because I would
have brought mom with me to see you.
May God bless you and your families,
Jeanne (Atwood) Sexton and Harriett Atwood
P. S. Our parents were very good friends when we were little children and I do remember you girls.
