Dear Bobby,
Your mother was exceptionally sincere and caring. I remember the unconditional kindness Joyce had for my Mother. After our move to NY (January 1975), your Mom came to visit and brought a home-made, crocheted afghan – said my Mom could wrap herself in it and be reminded of ‘home’. I still have it. Let me know if I could return the comfort / kindness and bring it to you – to always remind you (and your family) of your Mom. My Mother is a resident at Gracedale (Nazareth) – – I frequently drive down to visit. Grateful for memories when the Kutzler’s and Bush’s were neighbors. I wish you peace (a lifetime of memories) and comfort (your Mom was fabulous) and strength (love of family/friends) during this difficult chapter of life.
Sincerely,
Gayle
