Susan, I'm not sure you remember me but I was Gladys Johnson's daughter, Gail and when I was married to Steve Hughes I would see your Mom down the Cape when we visited Steve's Mother, Midge who lived across the street from your Mom I believe. I send my prayers to you and am so glad she had such a good long life.
