Dear Howie, Diane and Evan, I am so sorry that I did not know your dear Mother and Grandmother had passed away. I still carry her phone number in my cell phone. We were friends at paint group and long afterward. We exchanged paintings and I still have one she painted hanging in my home. She was a dear woman. Whenever we talked we would always end with plans to meet for lunch. When my husband had a stroke in 2018, my life changed along with his and the lunch dates with your Mom ceased. How she always spoke of you all and the trips to Newburyport, where Jim's cousin also lived. She loved Evan so much. She was a treasure for sure.

I am so saddened at hearing about Norma. Worked with her at New York State Automobile Dealers Association and felt she was a wonderful person. I thought of her often since she has left and missed her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and I am sure there are many memories that will hold dear in your and my memories.

Dear Howie and Diane. I´m sure I don´t have to tell you that your mom was a beautiful woman inside and out. She looked fantastic whether dressed to the nines or working in her garden. I will remember her as a good friend and neighbor to my family, ahead of her time and true to her Indiana roots. Our love and condolences to you. Pilar, Bill and family.
