Condolences to Ann and Family

The longest baby ever born at the Albany, N.Y., hospital, at least as of May 5, 1926, who grew up to be my strapping father, passed away last Friday morning.

As Mother and I stood at Daddy’s casket Monday morning, Mother repeated his joke to him, which he said on every wedding anniversary until a few years ago when Lewy bodies dementia prevented him from saying much at all: “54 years, married to the wrong woman.” And we laughed.

May God send comforting angels to the family at this time.

    It was a beautiful piece she wrote about her dad. He was a good man, and it sounds like Ann is very much like him. Very nice sentiments there, Jo. I didn’t write about it, I’ve just been reflecting on it. The person at Sweetness and Light said …he thinks any man would be proud to have that written about them.
