I am sorry for your loss. I did not know your wife and your mother, but I do live in Chenango Bridge 5 months of the year and am in Florida the rest of the time. I do not know of many women who have the same name. I feel a bond. Take good care of yourselves. I have been a widow for many years. I do understand your loss. God bless.
Fondly, Gwynne B. Troy
