We had some good times growing up in the old neighborhood. Your MOM was like my second mom. She was terrific, sweet, kind, would do anything for you in her power, but she was also tough, just like you. She will be truly missed but know your DAD will be happy to see her again. Maybe they will run into my DAD, and they can sit on the porch again and talk.

Friends always,

To my cousins, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom. What a sweet lady she was, even though she was tough as nails. She's back with Red now....I hope they are happy together again. Love you all, Bernie
