Dear Denise and James and family
Our prayers and love are with you at this sad time. Your Mother and I have been friends for more than 60 years and she will be greatly missed. I spoke to her around the 10th of December and she was in good spirits and like the rest of us who have, so far, escaped COVID looking forward to a far better 2021.
With love, Valerie, Phil and Lori Fleischmann
