I shall always remember the great PTA ladies of Carpentersville, especially Jane.
It was always a joy to see them come for our annual PTA reunion. We shared lots of memories when we began getting together in 1990. My prayers and thoughts.

Dear Anne, I have often thought about you, wondering where you were but only today did I see the news about your mother.
I tried to pull up your name, then you and Mish but could not. I was very saddened to read your mother had been flooded out of her home. Always I will remember the pie cake she baked; I still have the recipe. I remember your dad, too.
Since 1966 I have been married to Jack, my soulmate. We had one child, Mark, we live in Maryland; he lives nearby in Washington DC with wife Kerri and their two children, Katherine 6 and William 9. Of course they are the bright stars of our lives.
I hope you receive this email and also hope you will email me back. Gosh, it’s been a very, very long time, hasn’t it?! May this note find you and Mish well and happy.
An old friend from the past, Kay
