    Karen and family,
    I’m just leaving to go out of town for awhile but wanted to send a note and tell you I’m thinking of you all. I loved your mom and am so sorry to hear of her passing. My mom’s obituary is two rows under your mom’s on the Morris Nilsen page. I like to think that the two of them are together somewhere, making music and drinking coffee.
