Larry, JR, Annette, Jeff, Michael, and Gina, please accept my condolences with the passing of your Mom. Cookie and I had a lot of talks and some good laughs when we were neighbors in Westfield. She loved her family and I would have loved to have seen her with the great-grands and great-great-grands.
Even if I had known she had passed I would have been unable to attend her memorial service and for that I apologize. Please accept my condolences and know your entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.
