To offer on line condolences visit www.wright-beard.com I was so very sorry to read of your mother's death in the Post Standard. She and I became friends through bridge playing where we were in a group that gathered monthly. I hadn't seen her in a long time and didn't realize she was ill. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Joan Colvin Growing up we enjoyed many stories of the Faulkner and Anderson sisters.
