Dear George, Gordon & Howard-- I'm so sorry for your loss- your mom was a wonderful part of my childhood memories, as are all of you! I clearly remember her laughter, her love for fun and family 'group' gatherings-- even as a child I knew she was classy. pretty, and smart! and I remember her being overwhelmed as well, on occasion! Once, at the Floyds, she came down from the shower all flustered--she had recently gotten her hair 'done' colored and the Prell Shampoo she borrowed had turned her hair green-- it was as green as the bottle! I remember how she laughed instead of getting mad-it was a good lesson for me, one of so many the 'Group' provided, intentionally or not! All my love, Ann
