Bruce,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your mother. I wish there were sords to say to help ease you through this difficult time but there aren’t. Treasure your memories and hold on dearly to them for those memories are truly what will get you through your darkest days. I wish I was there for you but I am never more than an email or a phone call away. I send you lots of love and hugs.
She taught me how to knit, how to cross-stitch, how to needle-point, altered my wedding dress, made my wedding cake, let me live with her for a short time, tried to teach me how to grow plants and all the other wonderful things a grandmother teaches a granddaughter. She’s at peace now.

Dear Linda, Cheryl, Donna and Bruce, My kindest wishes to all of you. Memories of your mother go back to the time we met in high school. We belonged to Rainbow and our friendship lasted through the years that all of you grew into young adulthood. She was very talented in her crafts of knitting and crocheting that, if I remember, her grandmother taught her. As a teen her parents invited me in several summers and we spent carefree days living in a 16×16 canvas tent in a campground in Dennis MA. Kind regards to Deborah. God Bless and Be Well, Esther
