Dear Valerie, Vivian, Jennifer and Eric,
My deepest sympathy to all of you and your families for the loss of your mom. She and my mom were pretty fabulous friends. For 65 years?? Sharing the same sense of humor and witty silliness throughout. Their group of friends was second to none. Fabulous getwaways with ridiculous themes. Everyone was up for that! Both Marv and Carolyn were always with an open door for me when I visited. They were such a part of my mom's support. When we lost Marv, things changed. Your parents were always there for Mary with a laugh, a sandwich, a ride, a chore, some soup or happy hour....all the things that become pretty important. Both Steve and I had a chance to spend some time with your mom for the last few days that we were there. Her goodbye to my mom was gut wrenching but a pretty special moment in time. I went thru "The Club" scrapbook with her. So hilarious and clever. Pretty sure your mom was the brains behind that. They could have had a sitcom! They don't make them like that anymore. Here's to a good day for you all tomorrow. A good family and friend reunion. I'll be thinking of you. Love Peggy
