Judi, John and family,
I visited your Mother for many years with the JV Fletcher Library Bookmobile. She was such a sweet gentle interesting lady. She loved her family and the family history. I always looked forward to seeing her. When I was retired I ran into her at the Senior Center lunches or the Gay 90’s Party. I’m so sorry for your loss, she will be missed. Maureen Barry
