Ann, Rosie, and Family: My sympathy for the loss of your mother and grandmother. My family and myself had many nice visits to Darlington. I remember looking forward to the big trip during the summers and the special trips to watch your dad race at the track. Time has a way of slipping by and yet people are always in our thoughts. I am grateful to have seen and spent time with your mom, (Aunt Mary) last month. Ann you did a wonderful job in giving your mother the best possible care in her later years. You were always there for her and I know she appreciated it. Will see you soon.Jane
