To all of you girls and my classmate Bill from my family we are so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. We haven’t seen each other in many years but know that our prayers are with you.
I haven’t seen or talked to any of the family since my childhood. For some reason today, I decided to search my grandmother’s name and I found this. I have so many great childhood memories spent with her and my grandfather at the bar and also with her at her house in Adams. I’m so sorry I didn’t have contact in all these years. I’m glad to know she lived such a full life with her family close to her.
With all my love,
Debra
