I’m so sorry again for your loss. My mother has now passed too. I loved talking to you before and I did write but your email seems no longer to be working because my note bounced back to me.
Your Dad was such a lovely man and remember, he told you to write me…haha…which you did.
I hope you will get this note.
Hugs Shelley
