Hi Rick and Victor,
I was so sorry to read of your mom’s passing. I just had to drop you a line and let you know I’m thinking of you both. It certainly brought back a flood of memories. Your mom was like a second mom to lots of us in the neighborhood. I remember one time she had made homemade potato chips. I’m sure they took forever to make and we ate them in no time. She didn’t care – she just asked if we wanted more! She always had a smile on her face and a laugh to share. I could make a long list of all the things I remember but for now just know that you’re in my thoughts.
Sincerely,
Cindy (Pinkerton) Sherman
My prayers and thoughts are with you. Denise Frank (River rat)
