Dear Donna, My dear best lifetime friend. I am so sorry about your Mother. Where do I start. I have so many special memories. Your whole family played an important part in my life growing up. Our Mother’s getting together. I know they played cards with a group of women. I can’t remember all their names. Just the everyday things we all did. Your Mother had a good long life, and I know she is at peace. May God bless you and your family at this time. And, know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Anne and Ted
