Eddie, Richie and Cindy,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mom. It was only 2 months ago I saw her 'working out' with the PT at Atria and I spoke with her. She looked beautiful in her flowery silk blouse and was quite chatty. You're so lucky to have had her in your lives for so long.

To all the Field Family
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I was so saddened to read of your mother's passing. She was such a special neighbor for so many reasons. It was always a treat to meet her somewhere between our back yards. We'd share stories of all our wonderful memories of Buttonwood, Janice Road and our mutual connection to that special place in time. It was a great comfort to me to share that history with such a delightful woman.

Richard, Cindy and Ed, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Although she had a full and long life, it is always great saddness to lose a parent. Although I did not know her very well, when I would meet her at RICC she would also be a gracious lady. Ellen and my thoughts are with you.
