Dear Karen and Claude.

I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing.  She was a wonderful person.

I enjoyed my conversations with her while "tracking down" addresses for
class reunions every few years.

Dear Karen, Claude, Tom and families,

 

I was trying to recall with fond memories how many years we were all neighbors and realized it has been over 50.  On behalf of the STRATTON families, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
