Daniel and Family,
I’m sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I remember her from Lerner Store downtown Albany. She was always happy and cheerful willing to help with suggestions but never any pressure. Sometime later I found out that she was the Mom of a classmate.
Sending prayers for you and your family,
Barbara G Arnett Mosher McLaren
