But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their
lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into
our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is

Auntie Rose's Birthday Party
Dear Pam and
Fred.....
Wed. morning 5-14-03
Well I got home last evening and enjoyed
the drive by reminding myself of all the wonderful things that happened on
this past Mothers Day Weekend..... Wow.. it was great. You know how to
throw a party!!!!!... and my guess......is that YOUR home has been the
site of many many such events, with the worlds widest variety of
personalities.... imaginable.....The walls there have echoed with your
wonderful Laugh,,,,,,,, Pam.....and with the laughter of your
guests!!!!....and I know they will continue doing so.!!!!....
You are a real sweetheart and your
abilities are exceeded only by your imagination,,,, AND then,, by the
willingness to put in the efforts to accomplish your plan....
The hat was VERY much well received by
Nancy,,,,and we talked for hours about all the fun which was
had......Thanks very much Pam...
Oh Fred,,, I DID stop at Pepperell and
drove over to the drop zone.. They have a good looking operation,, De
haviland Twin Otter....... but it was cloudy and only a handful of people
were there.... I stopped in part,, because about the time I got onto 495
south,,, the skies had cleared,, and the sun was shining,, but then ....by
the time I got to Rt. 113,, it clouded up again.... Anyway.. it was nice
to at least SEE the place....
I did 535 miles on the van yesterday,,,,
about the time I got past Syracuse,,, Allison called me to say she was
finished with her last exam,,, so I just kept running, and went south at
Roch,,, (instead of North to Irondequoit) so that we both returned home
around 6 PM....... I hope your work day went well and that the week ends
quickly for you,,,, so that you can "recover" this sat. and sun. : - )
Thanks also for the computer time, I keep
in contact with certain of my friends,, many of whom lead "awfully
dramatic lives",,,hahahaha. so it was good to check in with some of
them...
Love Ya' Pam. Love Ya' Fred.
Auntie Roses' "Seventy Tenth" ( She is
way too young at heart to be 80) birthday,,,,,,,
will stay in our hearts
forever.......because of YOU...
love from Jimmy and Nancy and Allison and
Jim

Thanks Peter, These pictures are wonderful and we're delighted to have them! It was such a memorable time...that last hour particularly, when each of us had the opportunity to express thoughts and feelings we never had...openly anyway! Congratulations to Pam & Fred on hosting the party of a lifetime. Love, Aunt Lorraine |
