Kathy and family,
We were sorry to hear about your mother&s passing. She was such a lovely lady....with beautiful hair. It was fun to visit with her. I will always remember my surprise at seeing her on the bus, headed to the beauty shop or shopping, when I was trying to teach some ESL students how to use the public transportation. She liked being independent, I think.
We will miss her. God bless you. Love, Tom and Elaine
