Dear Poteshman Family,I am So sorry for the loss of your wonderful grandmother. It has been a long time since I have seen any of you, but the years of doing business with all of the family at "Morry's" were always pleasant and fun. I remember how Shirley was forever knitting or crocheting something wonderful and I always loved asking what it was and who it was for. She always had a smiling face and spoke so sweet.It was a pleasure knowing her and the family. Fondly, Eileen Rosengard
