So sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I enjoyed my visits with her at the rest home and seeing her at Bartos.

My sympathies on the passing of Dolly. We enjoyed seeing her come into the Pittsburg Public Library and she would take time to talk with us and share her background. She had some good stories. We read the same type of books, so I always put her name on the ones I knew she would read. When she stopped coming in, we missed her.
May Her Memory Be Eternal
