September 16, 2022 at 9:12 amMy sincere condolences to the family. I worked with your mother at Raina’s one summer. She taught me how to keep the books. In later years she, my mother (Lois Dool), and Maureen Terry took a trip to Portugal together. Your mother had boundless energy and enthusiasm. My mother died one week prior to Marian, both at Carleton lodge, both lives well lived.
