sherry i was so sad to hear about your mom. i always thought of how we both called our parents mommy and daddy. its horrible and really i can not say with any truth that its ever the same again. the only way for me to discribe it is if someone to yellow out of the color pallet and you never saw yellow again.to all of you i am so sad and just keep something that has her smell on it wrap it up tight and every so often you and your kids can stick your noses in the zip lock and then seal it up fast for the next fix. thats what we do, and it seems to be an interesting way to recapture them, smell is a powerful way that brings things back quickly i love you all and again i am so sorry. love josie

I met Lorraine about 25 years ago when we worked together at the glass company and thru Lorraine, I, of course, had a few opportunities to meet Florence and spend some time with both sisters. It was a pleasure knowing Florence ... such a warm person to be around, and she also had a great sense of humor. It was always fun to spend time with Florence. I'm very glad I had the opportunity to also see the closeness the sisters shared between them.
