Dan,
I was saddened to read of your mothers death. I wanted to express my and my mother’s sympathy. My mom and your mom were good friends. I have only very fond memories of her as we were growing up on State Street. I remember her always with a smile, always very friendly and kind to me. Memories are treasures we will always have with us.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family,
