    Curtis and Peter, please know that the Abernathys are thinking about you just now. Your mom was a charm--so clever, so bright, and with wonderful dry wit. We have had some grand times together. Much love, Lorraine Abernathy, Richmond, VA

    Curtis and Peter, your family was our next door neighbor on West Club Lane. I remember your family well. I was so sorry when you moved to Williamsburg. Our mothers kept in touch. They saw each other occasionally at The Tuckahoe. And I know that they had lunch several times in Williamsburg. Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your sweet mother. Regards. John Catterton
