Jennifer, thank you for letting me know…it’s weird, she has been in my thoughts the past few days…my sister turned 72 today and it made me think if Linda! I am so very sorry for your loss and for me, and our City Hospital loss. Your mom was sort of the matriarch of our last standing City Hospital ladies
Jennifer, I am in Florida now and I am so very sorry that I cannot your mothers burial. As always, I am here for your and love your mother to death
❤️to all Patti
