Dear Mark,Chyrl, and Amy, Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She always made me feel welcome, and cared for though we spent short periods of time getting to know each other. A most cherished memory will always be the first time she shared fruit cake with me at Christmas; seems she had listened so carefully she heard me say I loved fruit cake so that Christmas, as others after, she would bring me a part of hers. To me that was such a caring example that, though at that time she barely knew me, she demonstrated a loving way to share with strangers and acquaintances. And many times not only have I recalled that example, and have also shared with others.
Hugs to all of you,
Helen
