Sherry and extended families,
We are very sorry for your loss of a very special woman. I have such fond memories of her with Gram Fleming and our times at West Stephentown. Just the thought of her with your Dad and her big smile and the "old" days of Dunham Hollow bring back a flood of warm memories. We are thinking of you all during this difficult time. Grace and peace to you.
