    Otilia so sorry for the loss of your mother Mary. This is Kathy Adams your neighbor from Somerville Ma. I was going through some papers and found a Xmas card your mother had sent to my father in 2014, however both my parents had already passed on.
    I just wanted to say hello. I have very found memories of you and your mom. I hope all is well with you. I live in Methuen. I’m a nurse and I have a 31 yr old son.
    Take care.
    Kathy Adams
