Jan ; Al noticed the announcement in the paper. What a flood of fond memories came rushing into my heart.
Your mother was nothing but pure love, kindness and the most generous person I have ever known. All those years ago,I was an overwhelmed, lonely new mother. I had no clue how to navigate this scary life I had dropped suddenly into. Your Mom (and Dad) embraced me... welcomed me and were the best role models I had the good fortune to live next door to. Was there ever a more devoted, happy embracing couple? I warmly remember your Dad singing love songs to your Mom. And an exhausted uncertain new mother (me) sitting in your Moms studio painting ceramics as my salvation for a few hours to breathe and recharge myself to face the challenges of wife, new mother ,and friend. She was truly the sole reason I made it thru into motherhood! Perhaps my boys were one of the many children she helped shape by example. Al and I are out of town today and I am sorry not to be there. Elaine will be welcomed into Gods chosen and she will without question be united with the soul of her beloved Abe. If, by chance you will be in Rochester longer than this evening, please call me and I will race to see you and hug you with the bond of a friendship that is cherished in my memories. (585-703-5605)
