Dear Janet, Eddie, Ron & Bill,
So sorry to hear about your mom! I really got to know her well working at the store (so many years ago), and admired her very much. She was a very dear person, and we had some good times. My mother remembers their many years of singing in the church choir together and other church activities. We both send our deepest sympathy to you and your families.
Teresa (& Helen)
Our thoughts & prayers are with you.
