Jane, Rich, David and Laura, Stephen, Riley and Landon and families of JIm, Ann and Nancy,

Our heartfelt sympathies to you all. We met your Mom only a few times at family gatherings in Bath, NY. She was just a lovely lady to talk with and was so proud of all of you. You all had a part in helping her move on into her next realm where she is, once again, young at heart and peaceful and happy. May your many memories sustain you through this difficult time.
Love,
Bill and Nancy Domm and family. Ontario, NY
