Elaine & Ken,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom. I have so many great childhood memories of going to Seabrook with your family, our grocery shopping adventures on Thursday nights, buying our "mohair sweaters", or just hanging around on your back porch. She was a wonderful lady and a lot of fun!
I know from experience that all your memories will keep your parents alive in your heart.
With warm wishes, fond memories and deep sympathy,
Love,
Brenda (Montgomery)
