Hello Elizabeth. I don't know if you remember me, but I lived with my husband Bill in the big yellow house across from Peg Barthelme from 1983 to 1997. Your parents were delightful and true friends to us, particularly to me when my husband died suddenly in 1994. I exchanged Christmas cards with your father after your mother's death and am very sad that I didn't see him when I visited Peg in November. I will never forget all their kindnesses to me and want you to know your mother, in particular, will live on in my family through two recipes she shared with me and I have credited her on my recipe cards...her famous brownies and that insane jalapeno jelly we loved so much. I think you and I met only once, but I sympathize with your situation. My last parent died a couple of years ago and it is a very lonely feeling indeed. Best wishes to you. I know for a fact that you were the light of their lives, and that you are making a contribution to humanity, which was very important to them both.
Fondly,
Gail Henry</b></font><br><br>
