Theresa, Dennis and Melissa - so sorry about your Mom.  I have one memory that stands out from a long time ago when I was probably about 7 or 8 years old.  It was a snowy day and the town closed East Pierrepont.  We were all playing outside in the snow when your mom came down the hill on her skiis.  I remember looking up and thinking, "Wow that is so neat!"  She was such a nice lady and would do anything for anyone.  When my mom was home after her cancer surgery, your mom came over to see how she was and talked to her like she was going to be okay.  She always had a wave for her neighbors and a small conversation usually would follow.  They don't make many neighbors like that anymore.  Although it's not easy to say goodbye, the memories that you have of her are always there for you to share, to laugh, to cry and remember.  Cherish her in your heart - she'll always be there when you need her.
