Sharon, Scott called me yesterday to tell me Aunt Lois had died (passed as they say in the South). I felt so very guilty because I had intended to call you ever since Christmas. It has turned out to be a difficult year for our daughter, but that should not be an excuse because that will always be true. I used to enjoy talking to your mother and we called each other fairly regularly. I hate so very much that you have had to live the final years of your mother's life through the veil of Alzheimer's I can hear your mother's voice very clearly as I write, and I appreciate that there is no way to fill such a void in your life. I always feel my mother is with me every time I look at my hands or catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror. I hope it is the same for you. It's a comforting presence for me. Please offer my condolences to the rest of your family. Aunt Lois was always so happy to talk about both you and David. Much love, Margaret Jean
