To Lisa and family
I am so sad to lose a dear friend. Mary and I went through grade school, high school and St Rose together. Lately we lost touch which I regret. I will pray for you, Mary, my dear old friend, and for all of your family.
Lisa, do you remember when you lived next door to us? You kids had so much fun!
