Dear Sister Nancy, It's been many years (too many), I am so sorry to hear about your mom. You are often in my thoughts and prayers. I will continue to pray for you and your family. God gave us memories to help us through times like these so we can keep our loved ones close to our hearts. I know I treasure Dad's memories and share them with my boys. I hope to come to Chicago this summer, my son may be attending Loyola in the fall. I hope we can get together. Love,(your long lost friend!) Kitty
