To Tam and Jeff and families,
Just heard from a former neighbor on Rec. Ln. of your mother´s recent passing. She was a lovely next-door neighbor, and long ago was a special person/class aide in Marisa´s kindergarten class. We lost our beloved husband and father, Bill, in 2023, and parents before that. We send our deepest condolences to you all and may your mother´s memory be years of blessings to you as she was in her time with you as our family members are to us.
Sincerely,
Susan Duerre
