Dear Molly, Walt and family,
I love seeing the pictures of your mom and grandmother. I have fond memories of her when we were growing up. I remember delicious Sunday dinners and fried onion sandwiches! I also remember going to Atlantic City on fun day trips with your mom and dad! I’m so happy that Pat and I were able to visit with her at your house recently too! Precious fond memories will always be close to my heart!
Much love,
Pat and Anne
