    My favorite memory of your mother was when she was gracious enough to let me join your family for Christmas in England when I was alone. I remember laughing with everyone about the 5 single beds squished together, all in a row. Little Ann was jumping from bed to bed. Your mom was always a lady, well-dressed and well-coiffed, even in her 90’s I see. You will miss her.
