Remembrances
Please accept my sympathy on the passing of your mother. Doris was always kind and thoughtful when she was our neighbor during the years we lived in Canisteo and we always had fond memories of the Silsbee family. She was a good Christian woman and I'm sure she's now happy in her heavenly home.
