I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many good memories of her dry wit! I know how much my mom & Russ loved traveling with her and Walt, and they had so many good times together. My deepest sympathies to you all.

Much love,

Marilyn, I miss you and the coffees that you attended with the original exercise group at La Bou and Panera.  You weren't a big talker but your comments were always pertinent and intelligent. Rest in Peace.
