Dear Sandy, Mary Ann, and families,
Our thoughts are with you. I will always remember the times, so long ago now, when our families celebrated the holidays together. I remember your mother bedecked with a smile, in her apron cooking for us all in your home in Meadeville, and all of us together in her old family home on the farm, perhaps going for a walk through the orchards after a festive meal and a football game. I imagine that the last few years have been hard on you all, and that the losses to your family leave you with empty seats at the table. I hope that the memories of the holidays of our youth may sustain you, and perhaps even enable you to look upon those absences with a smile.
