Dear Charla,

So sorry to hear of your dear mother’s passing. I hadn’t seen her in awhile but always enjoyed her company. I have so many memories of the days when we sang together over at the club house as the Royal Singers. She was a fun person and I’m sure will be greatly missed.

Thinking of you, Joanne
