    Dear George, Judy, Steve, Mark, Lauren, Lincoln and Zara, condolences on the loss of the matriarch of your family. She was a lovely woman who was always very kind. At this time of year I remember driving to Lantern Lane to see the beautiful lanterns they would light for the Holidays. May those lights guide her home. Love and prayers from The Netherlands, Linda
