Janine--

My Dad and I were so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom, Rita. She was a bright shining face at Alden, and someone my Dad and I enjoyed talking to. I so enjoyed sharing Easter brunch with you, and I cannot believe that was only a few short weeks ago.....Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! Love, Mary Therese McDonough
