Sally/John…I don’t think we have ever met, but your Mom, “Boots”, and my Mom “Skip” were girlhood and lifelong friends. As I was told, they gave each other those nicknames for fun when they were girls….and they “stuck” for a lifetime! At my Mom’s funeral in 2005, your Mom approached my brothers and I and said “Hi, I’m Boots”…we knew immediatly who she was from always hearing that story! We talked a while and it is a very fond memory. I hope it gives you a smile through you sadness today. Mike/Tom/Dan Feeney
