Sara, I intended to see you & your Mom at your grandfathers service but opened the newspaper on that day to see your Mom hadpassed away. I was so surprised. I knew her since grade school & always enjoyed seeing her. We had many mutual friends. I remember how thrilled our parents were when you were born & how proud they were of you, Blessings to you & your family as you heal from your grief. May warm memories ease your sorrow. Treasure your family as she treasured you. I could not attend her service as I was out of town at a wedding. I am so sorry. Susan Brumberg-Schaefer
