Dear Solon, Nancy, Barbara and Peter —
My sincere sympathy to you all. I will certainly miss Gerry sitting in her chair on the front porch of the cottage over the years. Then I would walk over for a friendly chat and get caught up on all the family doings.

Dear Barbara, Nancey, Peter, Solon and families,
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom helped instilled a love of music in me. I remember being in her music classes at LCS and I also remember playing with you occasionally when we were children. I enjoyed being her colleague when I taught at LCS.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow.
Love and Light,
Judy Long
