Camille and Don, I am so sorry for your loss. You know how much I LOVED your Mom and how much my dad enjoyed working for her and George. I am so glad that I got to know her when I became an Adult. Mary inspired me to create more beautiful Brazilian Embroidery and she was always interested in my latest quilts. I will miss our talks at the dentist office. I especially am thankful that she and my Dad got to have lunch together a few years back. Many others feel your loss along with you. she will be fondly remembered and profoundly missed.

What an amazing lady. I had the pleasure of meeting Nan through her grandson ,Eric. Nan was always creating beautiful items. It could be a crocheted tablecloth or one of her many eggs. I always enjoyed her stories of life experiences and her feisty sense of humor. She will be missed.
