Art, Ann,Don, and Dan,
I’m so sorry to hear that your mom has passed away. Freida was always so kind to me. She always seemed happy. I can still remember staying at your home and I can see her shaking her head, with a smile on her face, saying oh Diane. I will always have great memories of your family. She was such a loving person. I’m thinking of all of you.
Love, Jane Weldon

I am so sorry to hear of your moms passing. She was such a great lady. She loved to come to the Gouverneur Library in her younger years when she was still driving. When she was no longer driving, her son got her some books. She always loved to read. I remember her very well. Sorry for your loss. Jane Blackman and all the Gouverneur Library Staff.
Art, Ann, Don and Dan and family,
