We are all going to miss her in our own way. As for me, it would be the song that she would sing when Dana was being a little devil.

Linda, my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your mother. I remember the first time meeting her - my husband and I had such a nice time socializing with her. She was a delight to talk to each time I saw her.

May the love of family and friends that surround you bring you strength during this difficult time.

Warmly,
Arlene
