I am just learning of your mother“s passing and wanted to send my condolences. I met your mother when I worked at the Loudoun Times and would visit her antique shop. I bought many beautiful things from her and we became friends. I will always remember her wit and sense of humor and will also treasure the great design advice she gave me!
Fondly, Audrey Brkovich
