Recollections & Sympathy For the Family
Post Comment
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I heard today from my cousin. I fondly remember all the times our 2 families spent together over the years while we were growing up. I still, when I'm in williamstown, can look over across the brook & see the old house. Fond memories. I know that your Mom is in a good place with your Dad and their many friends & family members. My thoughts & sympathies go to you all. Love, Deb(Rosenburg) Gamari
