Linda,
Please accept my sincerest condolences in the loss of your mother. I wish there was something I could do or say that would help heal your broken heart. You were so wonderful to your mom. So devoted to her. I recall so clearly the day you told me that you use to go and visit her and bring all of the music for the songs that she loved so much as a young woman. And the two of you would sit there and play the music and enjoy your time together. What a wonderful memory and gift. God Bless You.
Betty
Dear Lois,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of your mother.
I remember your mom from Dunbar Hill and I also worked
with her in the early 1960's on the railroad. She was always very
kind to me. She always talked about you and your brother and sister
with so much pride and love. My sincere condolances to you and all
who loved her. To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
