Dear Ginny,
I are sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. As her devoted caregiver for such a long time you must have very mixed emotions.
Our mothers, the two Marys, were friends almost their entire lives so this is the end of an era, with no one left in their generation. (My own mother died this past spring.) I prefer to remember them in their heyday, going down a skihill!
My thoughts are with you.
Sincerely,
Joan

I recall Mary and George Henderson at the home of Vic and Clarabel Wright. I am trying to locate the Wright’s daughter, Judy, who married Comer Coppie. Their names appear above in the condolences. She is my first cousin and this seems like the only way to find her.
