Nancy,
So sorry to hear of your mother’s death. Our mothers were friends for many years. They played cards in their O.C.C. Club. I was happy to read that she spent her remaining years after your Dad’s death by you. I’m sure that was very important and meaningful to both of you. My parents are both dead now but their memory will live on in my heart as you with yours. Loving memories will give you great comfort.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Halleran Richmond
