Although I realize not unexpected, your mom's death still seems a bit unreal to me. With our lives so intertwined for over 65 years, I will miss her terribly. I remember well after Kathleen & I were first married & I worked at land surveying how, when I was working locally, I'd stop in on North Street & have coffee with her - from the big ole pot left on the old coal/woodstove all day, & that was the best coffee EVER!
Then the trips up the Coldbrook Road when Aunt Kathleen was very pregnant - she swore she'd go into labor before we ever got there! :-) There were many visits summers to Stramba's Campground where you'd all spend most of the summer. There are far, far too many memories to share here, but suffice to say I thought the world of both your folks.
Then when we moved to Largo after several visits with your folks, we enjoyed a number of years doing many things together. I try to look at my glass as half full rather than half empty, as I'm so very blessed to have been married to your Aunt Kathleen, to have known and enjoyed your parents for as long as we/I did.
I pray she's at peace now with the love of her life, your dad.
Much love to you all, Uncle John
