Dear Judy,

Judy, Frank, and family,
I am so saddened to hear about Shirley. She almost made 100! She was a much loved member of the Latta Road East family, which is now losing more members. I hope you are all able to find peace in the lifetime of love and laughs she gave you.

My deepest and heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your mom. Your parents were such good neighbors. I have fond memories when she taught me to make fried apples. She made my boys blankets and slippers. They still have the “Shirley blankets” today. Please let me know when you make arrangements.
