To the family: Your mother, father and I were childood friends. I last saw your mother at the Lynn Classical reunion in 1999. She was a delightful, classy lady. Even in high school she stood out as bright and pleasant and never had a harsh word about anyone. Your dad and I were literally friends from the first grade onward and he and your mom were a wonderful match. My sincere sympathy. Gerry McGhee
