To my Knight Cousins,
I am sorry to hear of your loss - I last saw your mom at my sister Anna's funneral in 2003 and she was, as always wonderful to talk with - smiling and insightful. I last talked with her by phone two years ago ( I was trying to fill in some family history) and while she was delightful it was apparent that she was showing some age. In fact she playfully chided me for asking some of my questions telling me she was 86 and why would I think she could remember the details I was asking her. I responded because no one else can.... She laughed. She was a special woman.
My and my family's thoughts are with all of you.
