Dear Susan, Dave and I both want to send our deepest sympathy and prayers to you and your family at this most difficult time. Your mother was a treasure and a true and loyal friend to my Mom for over 50 years. Avoca has never been the same without “the girls” and their morning get-togethers! I know that Mom wished she could have gotten over to Hornell to see your Mom more often, but, as you known, her own health was precarious and much worse than we knew. I picture “the girls” now up in heaven, drinking their coffee, and catching up on all the news. What special women!! Thankfully, a couple are still with us. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
