Chris & Family, My heart was saddened when I read about your mom. Our lives had intertwined for decades. Paul did construction work on Chestnut Grove Inn, Kathy & I worked together at DET, my daughter & I took a photography class from your dad years ago, Kathy & I rode together to Mexico NY for more than a year and I have a Siamese cat, presently purring in my lap, that I got from your parents in 1998. They loved their Siamese cats! Frank was so loving and caring when your mom was dealing with her diabetes. And you mom NEVER complained about her health or anything. I remember the day that I dropped your mom off at the house after work and when she opened the front door, water was pouring from the ceiling as a pipe had burst. What a mess. I would have sat down and cried, but not your mom. She handled it very matter-of-factly as she did with many of the hurdles in her life. She was so proud of you, Chris, and a fine role model for all of us. She will be missed...Joan
