Dear Prunier Family;
I was your moms mail carrier for many years. I always enjoyed our daily chats with her and her aunt. Those two always seemed to be on the go.
She would always save me some cream puffs that were made for Holidays or special occasions. She took such pride in showing me her silk knitting's, be it a wedding blanket for her granddaughter or a baby blanket for the newest great grandchild. Of course her favorite stories were about her late husband and her children.
Even after I was transferred to another route I'd get a monthly call from her to check up on how I was doing. She was a wonderful, strong minded woman and I know she will be missed.
Deepest Sympathies for your loss.
Linda Connors
