The long walk on the beach from my house was always greeted by Mrs. Powers with an ice cold glass of tea waiting for me in the kitchen. Andy was usually taking a long shower which gave me time to share stories with her. Her kind words and thoughtful guidance will always be with me.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I know St. Peter and all the other Saints will have a hard time telling Ann and Mary apart. They look alike, act alike, think alike and both have the most generous hearts. I know they are both sitting on the biggest sreen porch rocking with a cool brease just talking and catching up. Of course Uncle Jimmy is waiting on them hand in foot and staying out of the way.... With greatest love, John and Patti.
