Hi Helen, Thank you so much for your message. Yes, Mom spoke of you often, her oldest friend. I'm so sorry you're just now learning of her passing. We tried to get the word out, but it was so sudden and traumatic the way it happened, we had very little access to her phone/emails/etc. Clearly she was planning on staying a lot longer with us, and having many more adventures. Please feel free to email me directly, I'd be happy to talk more if you'd like. This has been an incredibly difficult year for me, so I understand your shock. I'm so sorry that you've lost your friend. You are right, this has left a hole in everyone's heart!
I'm at corieginger@gmail.com or 310-995-9187 if you'd like to reach out - anytime. Thanks again. I love hearing how Mom was so good at keeping in touch with people she care deeply for!
