I will miss catching up with a longtime friend. My history with your mom goes way back to many happy gatherings with you all as children and friends. Your parents, Bob and Claire, had a way of welcoming you into their lives with homey kindness and love. We have all had the opportunity to feel special by them. My family extends their deepest sympathy with love.
