Doris & Donna,
My condolences on the passing of your Mom.
What a fine lady! She and my Mom,Winnie Coombs, were best of friends. I can still hear the laughter they enjoyed together.
Doris and Winnie opened a consignment shop together and operated it for quite a few years.
Your Mom was always knitting.She made me many hats and mittens and though, well worn, I still have one of the winter hats that I still use.
What a good friend and neighbor.
"Cappy" Coombs
