"I was saddened to hear of the loss of your Mom. The memories I have of our neighbors on Chesterton fill my mind with big groups of children playing in the yards. Laughing and having fun. Your Mom was apart of that time. She would send my family trays of her specialty foods she made. I don?t know the names but looked forward to when she cooked. Your Mom was a beautiful lady. She was always kind to me. That meant a lot. Good thoughts and prayers to all of you. I know she is at peace. Maybe having a cup of tea or coffee with my Mother. "
