Dear Ann, Your mother was very special in my memory bank (as are you). I remember my first experience with cooking was in your home, under your mother's patient tutoring. I really loved her smiling countenance and happy voice. Your beautiful personality was a gift to me, as well. I know your Mom will be sorely missed in the years following this separation. My mother passed in 2000, at age 84, and I still miss her terribly every day. My faith tells me she is happy, and it comforts me to know we will be together again in "a small moment," May you be comforted, Ann; and know that you are loved. I wish I could be at the funeral, but our son-in-law passed away unexpectedly, on Easter morning. We are preparing for his viewing Thursday, and funeral Friday. I hope you and I will meet again at our 50th Class Reunion, next year.
