Dear Susan, Joan, Barbara and Thomas, We were so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. Barbara, thank you so much for your nice note to Mom, she received it today. Our parents spent a lot of time together and were very close. I remember both of your parents being at our house on numerous occasions. I think they also lived near each other on Ridge Street in Katonah but that was before my time. My sister Sue would probably know more about that. I also remember when your house near Increase Miller was being built and going over there and climbing on a big dirt pile in the driveway. :-) Our mothers were in a ladies group together too in Katonah, I remember that they did fun and crazy things together in that group. Your mother was my Godmother and she was always so good to me and so much fun to be around. After your father passed, we spent even more time together going to St. Luke's Church, having Easter dinner one year at the Inn in Ridgefield and other events. She had been to my home in Brewster, NY also. I sent her a Christmas card every year and some times she would write me notes back. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Lots of love, Audree and Cheryl Farrington

I just received the Christmas card that I had sent your mother and it made me sad. I did not know your mother as well as I did your dad I worked your with your father for many many years at AT&T. But I always considered your mother a friend. Know that I am thinking of you in this year that hurts so many. Both your mother and father were very special people to me.
