Dear Marilyn, So sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. You will surely miss her, seems we are never ready to let our parents go, even with our age. I remember your Mom as such a beautiful & elegant lady. I can see the resemblance of you in your Mom, even though I haven't seen you since high school. (I lost my Mom a year ago this past Jan., she was nearly 99 & still lived independently - oh, how I miss her!) Wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. Thank goodness for the memories, they will sustain you as life goes on. Take care! Ruth (Frederickson) Ptak Maricopa, AZ. & Iron River, Wi.Maricopa, AZ 05/02/2011 7:22 PM
