Dear Wendi,

Meeting you and Gladys on our NMH trip to Holland, etc., was truly the highlight of the trip. And what fun we had throughout! Your mother was a real jewel. I loved her humor and know how proud she was of her family. I'll never ever forget her one-of-a-kind Christmas tree without a needle on it! She was definitely a unique individual and, although I didn't see or hear from her often, I'll always miss her. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you and your family - and with Gladys. The Lord bless thee and keep thee.

Wendi, Peter, & Amanda,
My thoughts go out to you during this difficult time. We haven't seen each other in years, but I have alot of fond memories of your family from years ago. Way back to being neighbors on High Street, at camp up to Whetstone, and even coming out to see the Red Sox and staying at your house. Your mother was always a special part of these times. I remember when I was getting married, I received a card from your mother on the morning of the wedding - I don't remember specifically what she wrote, but it was the ice breaker I needed to have a good cry before walking down the isle. Remember the fond memories of her, I'm sure you have many. Take Care.

our thoughts also go to aunt mandy and uncle pete during this time.
