    I was saddened to learn of your loss. No matter how old we are or they are, it is a great loss. She was a gracious neighbor at Elm Place and just a lovely woman. I bumped into her in Chelmsford as well. She always had a smile and was happy to talk. She spoke highly (lovingly) of all her children. I will keep her in my prayers always. My sympathy to all her family.
