Boris and Pam,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Marie’s and my mom’s visits during my childhood with me tagging along are some of my best memories. They always had the best gardens and most beautiful flowers. They could visit for hours drinking coffee, catching up, and laughing and I know they are catching up now. Marie was one of the kindest ladies I know.
