Dear Gerry and Lynn and Family,I loved your mom very much. I know that you will miss her and her laughter. I wish I could be there with you all, but, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'll never forget Doraine and Jenny - what great friends they were. They are together now playing a running game of Spite and Malice and having a great time.My love to you all, Sandy
