Hi Margaret,
My sister Kathy told me today about your mother’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember her very well! She had a beautiful smile and a great laugh. I remember sitting in your kitchen with your grandmother in the rocking chair and your Mom making us snack or a meal. I hope you and your family are staying well.
You have my deepest sympathy .
Take care.
Love,
Mary
