Dear Judy and Sue,
I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Susan,Judy,Linda,Danny,and Lori,
I often think of you all and your parents as I drive by your old childhood home. Your mother was the quintessential mother of the 1950's - or at least I thought so. She served us snacks of Kool-Aid and little marshmallow fluff sandwiches, something I'd never seen before. She used a mangle, an ironing system I'd never seen before as well. It appears that she suffered from dementia as did my father who died last July. It's a tough disease forcing us children to live only in the present since memories are lost.
Prayers for you and your families.
