Dear Edward,
Thank you very much for your loving words about my Mother. She was a special lady and did try to make everyone happy. She so enjoyed the music you played. God Bless.

Aunt Claire you were the gentle lady
who joined the family that gave little
ground to newcomers. I did, since you were the genuine article....and I
always respected you for trying so hard to be a part of it all...God Bless.
