Please accept my sincerest condolences at your mother’s passing. She was one of the ladies my dear friend Clara sat with in the Elmcroft dining room, and was always such a lady! Her humor and wit and kindness, even as age took so much from her, was an inspiration & a joy. I wish I’d known her as a younger woman. May your many memories of her bring you comfort in the coming days; we know she is at peace and happy!
