Mabs--To you, the girls, and Angela and her family, my love. I remember Mrs. B's constant and consistent love and amazement at the things we could get into! Your mom's door was always open to our wants and needs as "blooming" teenagers. I hope she knew (knows) how very important she was in my life.

I will be at the service Monday to celebrate myriads of happy memories of her life.

Hopefully we will be able to spend a little time togehter. It has been entirely too long.

Miss you--

Sydney

Mary Ann,
I am in Florida for the winter season and saw in Progress Index online where your mother passed away. I would surely be there for the funeral if I were home. So let me send my condolences to you this way.
I do think of you often. When you feel up to it I would love to hear from you. I have such fond and wonderful memories of our growing up together. All the visits to our woods and wading through the creeks. And staying over at your home and your Mom giving us the best back scratches ever to help us fall asleep at night. Also, Bruner coming home and giving you piggyback rides and how you just "squeeled" with delight!!!!!!!
That was many, many years ago, wasn't it??????
Can't believe we are now at "60"......unbelievable, isn't it?
Again, I am sorry for your loss. Your Mom surely lived a long and full life. But I know it's never easy losing someone so dear to you.
Sending you all my love,
Betty Ann
