Leslie and Family,
I'm very sorry to hear of your Mom's death. I saw her on a bus trip to Lancaster, PA a few years ago and we had a chance to visit. Good old Judson Street! It's been a long time since we saw each other. I hope your life has been fulfilling. I am remarried and have a 42 year old son and 2 granddaughters. I am retired and my husband's caregiver. He had a massive stroke almost two years ago. Cherish your memories.
