Nora,
I was sorry to hear of the passing of your grandmother. The name caught my eye as I was scanning through to find my mother’s memorial, and I immediately thought of you and those days back at SFB, when we sat beside each other in English class and I never paid any attention but instead probably bugged you to death with my constant ‘artwork’! My mother passed away April 4, so I can certainly share in your grief. You are in my prayers.
With deepest sympathy,
