Dear Beth & Barbara,
Your beautiful mother was the most cheerful, upbeat, optimistic person I’ve ever met.  Her sweet voice was like a songbird and she was a bright ray of sunshine – she will be missed dearly by many, including me.  I loved her too!  I have fond rememberances of talking & laughing with her – I’m so glad I knew her – I’ll never forget her (or her turkey salad sandwiches!)  With Deepest Sympathy & Sincere Condolences to your whole family, Marcia W.
