I am sending my sympathy to all of her sons and their families. I knew your mom and dad when I lived in Rensselaer. We played bridge together as couples and with the ladies. I was also in Tri Kappa with her. We had a very fun-loving nick name for her when your father was in the tractor business. We called her *The Tractor Lady*. We moved away in the 80's to GA. I remember all the fun times we had together as couples and as families with all of you kids. God be with you in this difficult time. I know you will miss her immensely. She loved all of her sons and I'm sure her grandchildren very much.
Fondly,
Suzanne Elia Shaoul formally Strader
