Yuri, As a young mother you were such an
inspiration to me. So vibrant and full of life.
You spent hours in the back yard in Charleston
talking about the future and our plans. I'm so
glad we had that last call. It meant so much to me
to be able to share our thoughts. You are so dear
to me. Your daughter in law Karen
