Sue and Barb and Families,
I was saddened to hear of your mother's death. She was a dear, dear friend of our mother's and I considered her a friend, also. She was always there to help Mom, take her places, and just support her when she needed a friend. After Mom died, we stayed incontact-I have a letter from her mailed Nov 13 telling me all the plans for the Holidays and family and neighborhood news. Jim, Lori and I laughed with her when we were cleaning out Mom's house and she came to visit. I can hear her laugh and see her smile. She was a wonderful person and I know you will miss her, as well as her sage advice! Perhaps she and Mom are already playing Bingo or visiting with all their familiy and old friends.May good memories help you through this difficult time. Fondly,
Karen Knoska Seelig
