Desr Patti, Terri and Betsy: One week ago today your Mom was sitting here in my office, smiling, telly Patti how to trim yellow roses(which she already knew), and telling stories about her great grandchildren. She and I discussed her moving to Winchester was such a good decision. I am so very sorry for the pain you are going through, but I know Judy is smiling. You know I am here to help, and my Celtic necklace bonding us together remains around my neck. I love you! Lynne

Dear Patti, Betsy and Terri, I remember your Mom so very well, and all of you knew how I loved your Dad. I'm sorry not to have an individual address for any of you so I can write a more personal note. I remember that Ron taught either Patti or Betsy and of course remember Terri since she and Dawn were friends. I am going to be out-of-town on Saturday so will not be able to be with you then. I will miss seeing you. My sympathies to each of you. Patti LaReau

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
