My Dear Cousins.....I am so sorry to hear of Auntie Martha's passing. She was a sweet, fun and courageous lady. I have so many fond memories of Christmas times together and the fun our parents had when they rented the cottage in Vermont when my Dad was sick with ALS and of course living in the apartments in Lasalle where you were all so good to my parents when they needed anything. You were the best kids ever to both Auntie Martha and Uncle Gerald.....they were very proud of all of you. May she rest with the angels knowing what a great family she had and how much you loved her. I mourn with you and send my love to each of you ....Sandra xo
