Norma (Rodd) Collins just phoned to tell me of your Mom’s passing, and we reminisced about how sweet and welcoming she was. We are amazed at her long and impressive life accomplishments. My Mom died in 1991. You were so blessed that your Mom lived to be 105,
I have many happy memories of your family. Your grandparents arrived in their car from Lawrence with candy treats for all the children. Elaine organized us and played the piano
for the “talent” shows we created and “performed” for our mothers and the neighbors. Happy memories.
Our families were very small (we were “only” children) while yours seemed huge. On Sundays your dining room table often had 8-10 relatives sitting together.
I don’t know if you remember me after all these years. I moved away to Plymouth after
7th grade at St Rita’s. Later I went to Emmanuel (class of ‘65) like Elaine and Brenda. My husband and I moved to Michigan in 1977. I have two sons.
Norma and I keep in touch and visit periodically. It would be amazing to get together with you sometime. Fond regards to all of you.
