Dear Andrea, Cheryl and Melinda,
We are so sad to hear of your Mom's death. In fact, we were in Mars visiting my sister last week, but left on October 19th.
Loved your Mom - remember her beautiful smile and her upbeat personality. We did so much together as you kids were growing up. Scouts, "grieving" golf widows, and earlier when we shared our first apartment - pierogi and crossword puzzles. These memories will always be with us.
All our love to you and your families.
Sonny and Lenna
