Dear Christine, my sympathy on the death of your Father. May he RIP. What a great age!! I remember him (you too!) from my years at Southwest Federal Savings. I also remember your Mom very well...she bought this Irish girl a lovely vase from Greece and I always think of her when I dust it as it is displayed nicely in my living room. I did not know she passed away too. I often wondered...

I just thought you might like to know that even though our loved ones pass on they are remembered by those who lives they touched while passing through this world.

Sincerely, Mary Lyons

I remember you were friends with Sharon Stanko. How things come back to a person...
