My Dear Friends, I just heard of your mother's passing. My heart is with yours at such a sad time. Some of my best memories are times spent with the Sebrings! Lillian was always so willing to feed another mouth at the table (what's 5 more bread pancakes for that chubby little Peterson girl???). The house was always full of people, music, teasing, and laughter. How Ginny and I would torment those brothers! My home away from home... I am honored to have known Lillian and to be one of the "loved ones." Susie Peterson (Wojciehowski)
