Hi Ilga, What can I say? I know your mom is in heaven and better than she has been for a long time. I love the pictures of happier times. I am thinking of you and am here for you, always, dear friend.

I feel honored to have driven and been around your mother the last year of her life it was a bit like “Driving Miss Rita”! We grew very fond of one another & I enjoyed her stories, intelligence & wit. She was an extraordinary woman who I feel privileged to have known. Rita became a FRIEND, who I will truly miss.
Love,
Sharon

Ilga – I loved your mom. I miss bringing the garbage cans up to your garage door every week. No more newspaper to deliver to the door for her. She was always cheery and happy to see me and the dogs. Always something kind to say to me and always so appreciative. I miss her. I am very glad that I got to meet her and have her for my neighbor.
