Dear Eileen, Marty and the Doherty family,
We heard about "Ma" after Tuesday. Very sad news. She was a lot of fun and a great person. We were looking forward to having a "cold beverage' with her again in the parking lot after the ceremony in Colorado this year, as has been the ritual. We will have one in her honor this time. Take care.
