Loretta and Joanne — My condolences to you at the loss of your Mom. I particulary remember many a New Year’s Eve down in my parents basement with the ‘gang’ having a great time laughing listening to music and I am sure dancing up a storm.The group of friends was never quite the same after your parents left for NC. I know that Mom and Dad missed them greatly. They always had such a great time whenever they were together. There were lots of special bonds there that I am sure I was not aware of at the time. I know that they are all now reunited and catching up on days gone by and probably dancing, laughing and having a great time once again. My thoughts are with you both. –Joan Renauto Irwin
