Susan and family: Losing one’s mom is the most difficult situation we find ourselves in. Please accept my condolences and sympathies during your sad time. I remember how active your mom was in school, and how her doing so helped shape our lives.
My condolences, Susan. Your mother’s community involvement serves as an inspiration to all.
Peter, Susan and Ann, I was sorry to learn of Jean’s death. She was a great friend to my Mother. They had such good times together. I didn’t realize they were the same age! Both were born in 1919. She will be missed. Sincere sympathy to each of you.
