Dear Sharon: I was sadden to hear of your mother's death. I talked to her after my mother,
Ruth Taylor, passed in September. Your mother said she was doing well and still driving some. Anna and my mother were good
school friends and I remember when we were children you would visit with us in Bendersville. The last years of their 1940
class reunions I would drive Mom to Sunnyside and our mothers would sit together and visit with each other, and call on holidays.
We will miss our mothers, but now they can visit each other in heaven.
With Sympathy Diane Taylor
