Dear Marie and family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother. I know you had to share her with many of her " kids" from UMASS. I am one of them! We had many a laugh as we worked the early AM shift at the snack bar. Of course Alice taught me how to make pierogi and golumpki, they were the best! I wish I had been better at keeping in touch over the years. Alice has earned a well deserved rest. What a beautiful person she was. Thanks for all of your love and support.
Love,
Fran Grasso Toomey, class of 77
