Our families have such a long history...I still remember tagging along when my mom would go across the street to Mrs. B's house for coffee and gossip (I mean conversation :-)) She was a wonderful friend to my parents. And, of course, we all had her as a teacher's aide at Smith School. She was the last of an era on Evergreen Street and we'll all miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
