Dear Jim and Lynn, Sending condolences on hearing of the loss of your mom. I was her across-the-hall neighbor at Columbia Crest and so much enjoyed stopping in for a visit or sharing a freshly baked treat - and how
she loved her cookies! She graduated from Cohoes High one year before my mom -whom she did remember!! A sweet, dear lady that I had the privilege of knowing! NancyJarose
